Ukrainian citizens kill Russian troops by feeding them poisoned cake and alcohol, officials say

Some Russian troops were killed and many more were injured after being given poisoned food and alcohol by civilians in the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday.

The soldiers were from the 3rd Russian motor rifle division, according to a Facebook post from Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence.

The post said two Russian troops were killed and 28 were in intensive care after being given poisoned cakes in the city of Izium. Another 500 Russian troops were taken to hospitals due to heavy alcohol poisoning, according to the post.

Officials said the Russian government is writing off these cases as “non-combat losses.”

The post also said that Ukrainian civilians were resisting the Russian forces by all available means.
