Ukraine says civilians gave poisoned cakes to Russian soldiers, killing 2 and sickening 28
KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine’s intelligence unit on Saturday claimed that Ukrainian civilians in the Kharkiv region gave poisoned cakes to Russian soldiers, killing two of them and sickening 28 others. The Ministry of Defense’s intelligence agency shared a Facebook post on April 2 stating that civilians in the city of Izium in eastern Ukraine baked poisoned cakes for troops from Russia’s 3rd Motor Rifle Division."As a result, two invaders were killed at once, another 28 went to intensive care," the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense’s intelligence unit said, according to the English translation. It noted how the conditions of the hospitalized soldiers were unclear. "Ukrainians resist the occupiers by all available means," the intelligence unit added. FILE IMAGE - A man drives a car past the rubble of a destroyed building in the eastern Ukraine city of Kharkiv on April 2, 2022.

It said the Russian command had written off these cases as "not combat losses," according to the translation. The claims come as grisly images of civilians apparently killed by Russian forces in towns on the outskirts of Kyiv before they withdrew have caused a global outcry.
