Putin's soldiers 'killed by poisoned water in sabotage operation'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 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. More Trending 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.

Sokhumi Restricts Inheritance for Those Who Aided, Fought with Tbilisi during War
Russia-occupied Abkhazia's de facto parliament has adopted legislation restricting inheritance rights for individuals it deems to have fought against the region's self-proclaimed independence, including those who sided with what it calls the 'State Council of Georgia' during the 1992–1993 war. According to the local news agency Apsnypress, the law bars 'foreign nationals, stateless persons, and their family members' from inheriting property if they are considered to have supported Georgian armed formations or aided what the legislation describes as the 'occupation regime of the State Council of Georgia,' including in the 1992-1993 war. The 1992–1993 war in Abkhazia was fought between Georgian government forces and Abkhaz separatists, who were backed by Russian troops and North Caucasus militants. Georgia lost control of the region following the fall of Sokhumi to separatist forces on September 27, 1993. Also Read:

Ukraine's Security Agency Says It Killed Russian Agents Suspected of Gunning down Its Officer
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's security agency said Sunday it tracked down and killed Russian agents suspected of shooting one of its senior officers to death in the Ukrainian capital. The Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU, said in a statement that the suspected Russian agents were killed in the Kyiv region after they offered resistance to arrest. A video released by the agency showed two bodies lying on the ground. The agency said earlier that a man and a woman were suspected to be involved in Thursday's assassination of Ivan Voronych, an SBU colonel, in a bold daylight attack that was caught on surveillance cameras. Media reports claimed that Voronych was involved in covert operations in Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine and reportedly helped organize Ukraine's surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region last year. After a series of massive attacks across Ukraine involving hundreds of exploding drones, Russia launched 60 drones overnight, Ukraine's air force said. It said 20 of them were shot down and 20 others were jammed. The Ukrainian authorities reported that four civilians were killed and 13 others injured in Russian attacks on the Donetsk and Kherson regions since Saturday.
