Two Russian troops were murdered and 28 others were injured when locals ‘poisoned them with cake.’

According to the country’s intelligence agencies, Ukrainians poisoned food and wine to murder Russian servicemen.

Civilians in Izyum, near Kharkiv, have been fighting back against the Russians, who have repeatedly shelled the city, destroying large swaths of it.

According to the Ukraine Defence Intelligence Directorate, locals cooked pastries for the 3rd Russian Motor Rifle division and laced them with poison.

“As a consequence, two intruders were killed at the same time, and another 28 were sent to intensive care. It is necessary to specify their present situation “the organisation declared

Another 500 troops from the 3 Motostrils Division are being treated in hospitals for “severe alcohol toxicity of unknown origin,” according to reports.

Despite their best efforts, Ukrainian residents have been powerless to prevent Russians from destroying their villages and cities.

Izyum’s 50,000-person suburbs have been levelled by both indiscriminate shelling and pinpoint attacks.

Schools have been devastated, health centres have been turned to ruins, and ordinary dwellings have been levelled by aircraft raids.

Mykola Shaposhnyk, a resident of the hamlet of Hrushuvakha, told Sky News: “The planes are flying low. They were bombing at a glacial pace, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

“He is erasing the population, possibly to force people to leave the area. Ukraine will undoubtedly be destroyed.

“Even my father, who went through WWII, insisted the Germans didn’t do this.”

Approximately 20,000 people are presently stranded in Izyum, according to the city’s mayor, Valerii Marchenko.

Many people are hiding out in air raid shelters, running out of food and medication.

The invading troops’ choice to forego efforts to conquer Kyiv in favour of focusing on the country’s east was interpreted as a measure of the strength of the Ukrainian resistance effort.

However, the fleeing Russians are leaving a trail of sorrow and ruin in their wake.

The mayor of Bucha, which had been liberated, stated 300 civilians had been slaughtered during the Russian army’s month-long occupation, and dead were spotted in a mass grave and still laying on the streets.

Reuters journalists witnessed bodies laying on the streets as well as the hands and feet of many victims protruding out of a still-open grave on a church grounds.

“The cretins!” Vasily, a 66-year-old man, wept in fury as he gazed out his window at more than a dozen dead laying in the road outside his house.

“I apologise. The tank in front of me was firing. Dogs!”

After more than five weeks of conflict, Russia has withdrawn soldiers from the north that had threatened Kyiv in order to reorganise for fights in eastern Ukraine.

“The whole Kyiv region has been liberated from the invader,” stated Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar on Facebook on Saturday.

In a video address, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned: “They are mining the entire territory. Houses, equipment, and even dead people’s bodies are mined.”

During a search of the town of Dmytrivka, west of Kiev, more than 1,500 bombs were discovered in one day, according to Ukraine’s emergency services.

Russia has portrayed the withdrawal of military near Kyiv as a show of goodwill in peace negotiations. Ukraine and its allies claim that after suffering massive casualties, Russia was compelled to turn its emphasis to east Ukraine.

Both parties termed last week’s negotiations in Istanbul and through video connection as “tough.”
