Civilians in Ukraine are waging their own battle against invading Russian soldiers by giving them food laced with poison, according to a report.
The Ukrainian Intelligence Directorate said that civilians not involved in the fighting have been giving tainted food and drink to Russian soldiers. In one case in Kharkiv, 2 soldiers died and 28 were taken out of combat after ingesting pies “gifted” to them by Ukrainians.
Intelligence officials also said that about 500 Russian soldiers have been hospitalized after drinking tainted alcohol “of unknown origin.”
Russian soldiers are reportedly desperate for food, drink and other supplies after being given old rations to eat when entering the war. This has provided ample opportunity for Ukrainians to do the bidding of their home country and take part in the fight against the invading forces.

Who knows what’s really going on there. Maybe they simply ate mouldy out of date rations and have effectively poisoned themselves.
Why do I think that this is a bad idea, and could lead to retaliations against civilians?
CAN WE HAVE THE RECIPE?
To quote Nelson Muntz: “Hah hah.”
I don’t think that is illegal. This is rather clearly a “war” so all the Geneva conventions apply, so one is allowed to kills enemy soldiers, especially those engaged in hostile occupation of foreign territory. While poison gas and anything nuclear are banned, old fashioned poison would be legal, though its administration by non-combatants (that’s legalese for “civilians”) would under traditional international law allow the Russians to execute the people (not that the Russians seem to be all that concerned about international law).
