Three Russian security agents in Ukraine poisoned to death with arsenic-laced takeout food: report
Three agents from Russia’s notorious FSB security service have died in Ukraine after eating a takeout meal laced with arsenic and rat poison according to a report.
A fourth officer was hospitalized after also inges🍬ting the tainted food in the occupied city of Melitopol in the contested Zaporizhzhia region.
The fatal mass poisoning took place late last week, when a group of FSB officers stationed in Melitopol ordered food and alcoho🎃lic beverages to be delivered🗹 to their home from one of the local restaurants, reported the Russian
Shortly after the agents polished off their meal, all four we⛎re rushed to the hospit🔯al, where three of them died, and the fourth was left clinging to life in the intensive care unit.
It has since been determined, according to the outlet citing unnamed sources in the FSB and law enforcement, that the victims’ takeout order had been spiked with lethal doses of “arsenic and rat poison.”
It was suspected that “Ukrainian saboteurs” were behind the attack on the Russian invaders.
A search of the restaurant where the victims had ordered the food turned up no signs of poison, but the delivery man who brought the takeout to the doomed FSB agents’ address has “vanished without a trace,” the outlet reported.
Ivan Fedorov, the Kyiv-backed mayor-in-exile of Melitopol, confirmed the poisoning incident — and attributed it to the work of resistance fighters in an interview with a Ukrainian television program.
“The elimination of the enemy is carried out not only by explosions, missile strikes, but also by resistance forces,” Fedorov said.
“The other day, there was 🅷another group of eliminated enemies, namely poisoned ones. Enemy Telegram channels are even writing about it: they ordered food in a cafe and after eating it, they all got poisoned, and ꦰsome of them died.”
“This is the efওfective resistance that continu♉es to be exerted in Melitopol even under occupation,” the mayor boasted.
The murder case also features a “mysterious detail,” according to the Telegram channel’s police sources. They claim just days before the ill-fated meal, two of the targeted agents had opened an investigation into the secret burial of Russian Black Sea Fleet sailors in Melitopol.
It was reported last week how a grave discovered in a ওMelitopol cemetery was found to contain the mangled bodies of 17 sailors, who allegedly died in explosions and were quietly laid to rest back in September.
The incident comes just weeks after dozens of Russian pilots narrowly escaped death after a huge cake and bottles of whiskey laced with poison were delivered to the Armavir Higher Militar🐠y Aviation School in Russia’s Krasnodar region.
