The deadly incident, which unfolded in the Panteleimonivka area of Donetsk, has sparked horror and fury across pro-Kremlin military channels.
Distressing footage seen by The Sun shows poisoned troops convulsing, moaning in agony, and slipping into unconsciousness as medics scramble to help.
In one chilling clip, a soldier is heard asking a stricken comrade: 'Have you taken some water on the way?' — but the man is too far gone to respond.

'He is so unwell,' another voice says.
The water reportedly came from Simferopol, the capital of Russian-annexed Crimea, and was distributed under the guise of aid.
Now, it's feared to have been a Trojan horse of death.
Investigators are combing through the supply chain, desperate to uncover who tampered with the water — and how it reached frontline troops.

They warned: 'One thing is clear – soldiers should be extremely careful with any drinks.'
The poison panic has spread fast, with Putin's mouthpiece channels flashing urgent warnings to not drink the water amid soaring summer temperatures.
While some Russian-linked media are already blaming a 'Ukrainian sabotage operation', hard evidence is yet to emerge.

A Ukrainian source hit back, suggesting: 'It's unclear whether this was actual poisoning or drug overdoses, with commanders possibly using the 'poisoned water' story to cover up drug-related incidents.'
Putin's firestorm
As poisoned soldiers writhed on one front, Putin launched a merciless aerial onslaught across Ukraine — striking shopping centres, apartment blocks, and industrial targets in a scorched-earth campaign that continues to defy global warnings.
In the town of Dobropillia, a
Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike as 'horrendous, dumb Russian terror', accusing Moscow of trying to kill as many civilians as possible.

This isn't the first time Dobropillia has been attacked — a March missile and drone strike killed 11, including five children.
And the terror continues: from kamikaze drone attacks in Dnipro that left the city choking in smoke, to deadly barrages on Nikopol, Kharkiv and Sumy.
In Nikopol, Russian forces pulled a grotesque double hit — striking a cargo truck, then targeting emergency responders when they arrived.
Even as Russia unleashes devastation, Ukraine is punching back.

Overnight, drones reportedly struck key military-linked manufacturing targets deep inside Russian territory, including a chemicals plant in Tula and an aircraft repair facility in Smolensk.
In Belgorod, three civilians were reported killed and 17 wounded, while in Voronezh, drones slammed into a tower block — injuring at least three children.

Trump's ultimatum
The US President, who has sent special envoy Keith Kellogg to Ukraine this week, expressed fury over Russia's continued targeting of civilians.
He promised to back Kyiv with 'everything' in America's arsenal — including JASSM cruise missiles —
But the Kremlin is snarling back.

And Putin appears unfazed.
Touring a drone factory, he bizarrely praised Ukraine's 'incredible innovations', even as his forces flattened civilian centres.

Epstein file ‘full of actionable info' is locked in drawer, Dem senator says & calls for release of his bank records
A DEMOCRAT senator has claimed a "big" Epstein file "full of actionable information" is locked in a drawer in the Treasury Department. Sen. Ron Wyden called for authorities to 7 Epstein died in jail in August 2019, and the FBI has confirmed its assessment that it was suicide Credit: AFP 7 US President Donald Trump speaks with reporters, as he departs for travel to Pennsylvania from the South Lawn at the White House Credit: Reuters 7 Katherine Tai, nominee for US Trade Representative speaks at the Senate Finance Committee hearing at the US Capitol Credit: Splash Wyden, 76, affirmed on the Senate floor: "Somewhere in the Treasury Department, Mr. President, locked away in a cabinet drawer, is a big Epstein file that's full of actionable information." He urged: "Follow the money [and] details about his financing and operations that await investigation." The Dem senator even claimed the Biden administration let his aides Wyden said: "The file shows that Mr Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking. read more news "A lot of the women and girls he targeted came from Russia, Belarus, Turkey and elsewhere." He added: "One shudders to think about the kinds of people who must have been involved in trafficking these women and young girls out of those countries and into the Epstein web of abuse. "These are all potential leads." Beyond the mysterious account - kept with JP Morgan Chase - Wyden said how "hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts," meaning authorities have "even more to investigate". Most read in The US Sun Wyden's office discovered four major banks flagged over $1.5 billion in transactions after Epstein was arrested in July 2019, the Epstein was found hanged in his cell on the 10th, but speculation has been rife that others were involved - and the release of the footage has sparked another flareup of controversy. It was released last week after a leaked memo showed that a probe concluded Epstein's death a suicide, and the "client list" of people implicated in Epstein's crimes allegedly does not exist - contrary to popular conspiracy theories. Jeffrey Epstein's brother insists he was 'most likely murdered' amid mystery around 'missing minute' of 'suicide' video Wyden added on Thursday: "I wrote to the Attorney General, Ms. [Pam] Bondi, Treasury [Secretary Scott] Bessent, FBI Director [Kash] Patel, and I asked them all to produce the Epstein file to the Senate Finance Committee so it could be reviewed." He explained he had "made that request multiple times". The Dem Senator later said: "We are going to stay on this fight to hold the wealthy individuals accountable for the harm that they clearly were involved in, in injuring the young women and others in this sex trafficking. "[There was] real evil - real evil done to women and girls by Jeffrey Epstein. "Nobody gets to sweep that under the rug." Since his death, people have speculated that Epstein blackmailed prominent figures involved with his sick crimes. The FBI's conclusion that it does not exist directly rails against what administration officials have previously said. 7 Elon Musk previously claimed that Donald Trump featured on a so-called client list in the Epstein files Credit: Getty 7 The CCTV footage of Epstein's final hours was in fact missing almost three minutes Credit: US Department of Justice In an interview on Fox News in February, Pam Bondi herself said the client list was " She addressed the comment during a cabinet meeting last Tuesday, explaining that she had meant the Epstein file in its entirety. And it was hoped that the confirmation Epstein's death was suicide would put to bed theories that he had been murdered to prevent him from divulging names. However, even the release of the CCTV footage has failed to snuff out the conspiracies - leading to some within Trump's own ranks to call for the further release of the full files. Many within his MAGA movement allege that the files about the paedophile's crimes have been withheld to protect big names. US House Speaker Mike Johnson Speaking on a podcast with Benny Johnson, the Republican said: "It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it. "I'm for transparency," he added. Other conservative figures have since demanded to see all the documents related to Epstein's crimes, even as Trump has tried to put the issue to bed. Trump blasts 'are we still talking about this creep-' over Epstein as mystery swirls around 'missing CCTV & client list' Lauren Boebert, another conservative Republican said a special counsel should be appointed to investigate the financier's crimes if more Epstein files were not released. And Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said the voters expect more accountability. Even Trump's daughter-in-law, On Tuesday, Trump said the DoJ should release all "credible" information from its probe into the notorious sex criminal. But he repeated his claim that the so-called Epstein files were "made up" by his Democratic predecessors in the White House - despite saying multiple times during the election campaign that he would "probably" release them. He told reporters in the White House: "I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. "It's pretty boring stuff." Trump's frustration boiled over on Wednesday when he unleashed a scathing rant on Truth Social, taking aim at those he holds responsible for the ongoing attention, and those who have "fallen" for them. The President hit out at "radical left democrats", who he claims peddled the theories about Epstein's death and the so-called client list. And he fumed that his past MAGA supporters had "bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker". The MAGA camp remains left divided over a lack of clarity regarding the release of the hyped files. 7 Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence Credit: Getty 7 Prince Andrew pictured with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell Credit: AFP
