At least 12 Russian soldiers have been killed, and another 30 hospitalized after consuming poisoned watermelons. According to the Ukrainian portal TV24, these watermelons were purchased from a supplier, who later turned out to be laced with deadly poison.

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for two and a half years. During this time, apart from frontline activities, one of the most important tasks undertaken by Ukrainian soldiers and citizens has been partisan activity in the territories occupied by the Russians.

This is particularly visible in Mariupol, which has become one of the largest symbols of the ongoing conflict. In this city, which had nearly 500,000 residents before the war, more numerous and stronger partisan actions have started, occasionally achieving spectacular success.

This was the case a few days ago when Ukrainian partisans managed to eliminate at least 40 people from the battlefield temporarily. Such a high number is the result of a proven method during this war, which involves adding a significant dose of poison to the food given to Russian soldiers.

Ukrainian partisans in Mariupol killed at least 12 Russians

As it turns out, the Russian army stationed in Mariupol decided to treat themselves to one of the most recognizable products in this region. After contacting the seller, they received watermelons, which were undoubtedly a delicacy for the Russians during the war.

However, the Ukrainians, knowing who the order would go to, added poison to the fruits, which took its toll on the Russian army. According to the Ukrainian portal TV24, as a result of consuming the watermelons, at least 12 people died, and another 30 were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

There are always people who come en masse from Russia and want to make money. That is, they want to trade something. The operation was simple. It was clear that the watermelons were bought by soldiers at a [Russian] military base. It was clear who supplied these watermelons. A crate of watermelons was sold cheaply — recounts Petro Andriuszczenko, an advisor to the city's mayor loyal to Kyiv, as quoted by Bielsat.
