| At least a dozen Russian soldiers have reportedly died and another 30 are said to have been hospitalised after eating watermelons poisoned by Ukrainian resistance fighters in an occupied city. Putin's troops based in the Russian-occupied city of Mariupol received the melons from unwitting Russian locals, who received them from the city's partisan groups, according to local media reports. The Ukrainian 24 Kanal news outlet said the watermelons had been given to local resistance fighters who passed them on to the Russians who then sold them to the Russian soldiers. Following the deaths, a Ukrainian resistance group posted: 'That's for you, guys! Thank you for protecting us.' Pyotr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the exiled mayor of Mariupol, Vadym Boychenko, said: 'The resistance movement is actively fighting.' |
