A successful ploy. Ukrainian partisans poison Russian soldiers with tainted watermelons

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 is 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 started, which occasionally achieve 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.

As it turns out, the Russian army stationed in Mariupol treated themselves to one of the most recognisable products in this region. To achieve this, after contacting the seller, they received watermelons, which were undoubtedly quite a delicacy for the Russians during the war.

However, the Ukrainians, knowing who the order would go to, added poison to the tasty 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 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.
