Ukrainian civilians have been baking poisoned cake and offering it to Russian soldiers, the country’s intelligence service has claimed, as the Russian invasion enters its fifth week
Ukrainians have killed Russian soldiers by poisoning food and alcohol, according to the country’s intelligence services.
Civilians in Izyum near Kharkiv have been fighting back against the Russians, who have destroyed great tracts of the city with relentless shell attacks.
Locals baked cakes for the 3rd Russian Motor Rifle division, lacing them with poison, the Ukraine Defense Intelligence Directorate claimed.
“As a result, two invaders were killed at once, another 28 went to intensive care. Their current state is to be specified,” the organisation announced.
A further 500 soldiers from the 3 Motostrils Division are in hospital with “heavy alcohol poisoning of unknown origin”, it was claimed.

Despite their efforts, Ukrainian civilians have been unable to stop the Russians destroying their towns and cities.
The suburbs of Izyum, a city of 50,000, have been flattened by both indiscriminate shelling and precision strikes.
Schools have been destroyed, health clinics reduced to rubble by shelling and ordinary houses demolished by airborne assaults.
Mykola Shaposhnyk, who lived in a village called Hrushuvakha, told Sky News: “The planes fly low. They were bombing so slowly, not in a rush, not in a rush.
