Aug 20 (Reuters) - Russia's defence ministry accused Ukraine on Saturday of poisoning some of its servicemen in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia in late July.
An adviser to Ukraine's interior ministry said in response that the alleged poisoning could have been caused by Russian forces eating expired canned meat.
The Russian defence ministry said a number of Russian servicemen had been taken to a military hospital with signs of serious poisoning on July 31. Tests showed a toxic substance, botulinum toxin type B, in their bodies, it said.
"On the fact of chemical terrorism sanctioned by the (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskiy regime, Russia is preparing supporting evidence with the results of all the analyses," the ministry said in a statement.
It did not say how many servicemen had suffered or what their condition was now. It did not say what the "supporting evidence" was.
Botulinum toxin type B is a neurotoxin that can cause botulism when ingested in previously contaminated food products, but it can also have medical uses.
Ukraine's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, but interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko commented on the Russian allegation on the Telegram messaging app.
"The department (Russian defence ministry) does not clarify whether the poisoning could have been caused by expired canned meat, in which botulinum toxin is often found. Overdue rations have been massively complained about by the occupying forces since the first days of the invasion of Ukraine," he said.
The Russian defence ministry said it was conducting an additional investigation into an incident in which Volodymyr Saldo, the Russian-installed administration in Ukraine's occupied Kherson region, was taken ill.
Saldo, a former mayor of the city of Kherson who was appointed to head the region of the same name when Russian troops overran it in early March, fell ill in early August. read more
Russia says its "special military operation" launched on Feb. 24 is aimed at demilitarizing Ukraine and protecting Russian speakers on what President Vladimir Putin called historical Russian land.
Ukraine and Western countries view it as an unprovoked war of conquest aimed at wiping out Ukraine's national identity.
Wakakaka...the most common root cause of botulic poisoning in modern society is eating food from damaged or long expured cans. The bacteria that produces the toxin lives in oxygen-free environment.
ReplyDeleteThe widespread RuZian Orc Ukraine invader army distribution of long expired military rations has been heavily documented. There are hundreds of videos on this subject on the Internet.
RuZia - stop feeding your Orc soldiers expired food !!!
And RuZian Generals - stop siphoning rations budget into your pockets !

Don't just say. Show the evidences. Ooop… known propaganda materials null & void - OK?

R they the cases of siphoning rations budget or just pure escapism from active duties?
The story behind Rashomon accusations of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant attacks.
ReplyDeleteZaporizhzhia nuclear plant is currently under Russian control with the Ukrainian staffs continue operating the daily management.
Who's attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has many finger pointing at each other.
Would a controlling army attacking its own strategic holding location?
Yet that's what the Ukrainians r claiming, with the voluminous supports of the West.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant generates nearly a fifth of total electricity generated in Ukraine. Many more kWh of electricity is now been channelled to neighbouring countries, Romania & Poland, via connecting grids.
Ukraine wants to take back the control of the nuclear plant bcoz the supply of the electricity is critical to Ukraine, especially during the coming winter. There r fears that the occupying Russians would divert electricity to only Russian occupied territories & cutoff the rest of the Ukraine need!
Besides, by blackmailing the European nations with the possible nuclear disaster at the plant can motivate more financial & weaponry supplies from the now dwindling EU supports.
By creating blackmailing attacks & vocal EU supports for a failsafe nuclear accident happened around the European region, Ukraine hopes that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant can he put under international DMZ administration via international condemnation.
This can at least resolve the very possibility of electricity shortage during the coming winter!
Captured on the battlefield...
