Lured with a false user profile on the social network, poisoned with vodka: Ukrainian partisans are practicing creative resistance in the occupied territories.
Mariupol - In the occupied parts of Ukraine, more and more is becoming known about resistance and partisan movements that use tricks to attack and kill Russian soldiers and officials.
For example, in recent months there have been repeated reports of dozens of Russian occupation officials and soldiers being poisoned or otherwise ambushed and attacked.
Now, anonymous members of a group from Russian-occupied Mariupol explained to the Ukrainian newspaper
Kyiv Post
how the partisans attacked a group of Russian soldiers in which three men are said to have died and over a dozen others had to be treated for symptoms of poisoning.

Partisans in the Ukraine War: Resistance with Poison and Social Media
Contact with the soldiers took place via a fake profile on the Facebook-like Russian platform Vkontakte, which, according to the newspaper's informants, Russian soldiers often used "like Tinder" to get to know women.
In chatting with Russian soldiers, the resistance fighters then found out that there was a ban on the sale of vodka for Russian soldiers in Mariupol and that the drink was therefore one of the most sought-after goods.
One of the partisan group then pretended to be a vodka seller to Russian soldiers and, dressed in thick black winter clothing, sold the military men vodka bottles that had been prepared with a syringe and laced with poison, which cost some men their lives.
In an interview with the newspaper, the partisans assert that the Russian occupation authorities have not yet been able to identify the attackers.

In recent weeks and months, there have been repeated attacks on Russian soldiers or occupation officials.
