Vladimir Putin’s soldiers on the frontline in Ukraine have been ‘poisoned by bottled water’ in a suspected ‘sabotage operation’, it has been alleged.
Russian troops suffered ‘seizures and loss of consciousness,’ reports on pro-war Telegram channels claim.
At least four men died after drinking bottled water delivered as part of a humanitarian aid parcel.
Multiple others are reported to be in a serious condition and fighting for their lives.
Footage circulating on social media shows soldiers writhing in pain after drinking from the ‘spiked’ bottles, as a military medic sought to assist the moaning victims.
In one video a voice is heard saying: ‘He is so unwell.’
The soldier is asked, ‘Have you taken some water on the way?’, but he is not able to respond.
The alleged poisoning happened in the settlement of Panteleimonivka, in the Donetsk region, where Russian forces have been pressing with their advances.
The brand was called ‘Our Water’, and it reportedly came from Simferopol, capital of Russia-occupied Crimea.
An investigation is underway into the reported poisoning as war channels have flashed warnings to other troops not to touch the suspect water.
Pro-Kremlin Tsargrad media reported: ‘The situation requires a thorough investigation – who supplied the water, how it got to the front line, and who could have poisoned it?
‘One thing is clear – soldiers should be extremely careful with any drinks.’
Military-linked channels suspected a ‘Ukrainian sabotage operation’, but there was no clear evidence of this.
