Russia Involves Even a 17-Year-Old Girl... Orders Ukrainian Soldier Poisoned with Drugged Alcohol

Poisoned Alcohol with Anesthetic-Type Drug

Russia's special agency reportedly ordered a 17-year-old girl to poison a Ukrainian soldier, leading to her arrest. With the war dragging on, it appears that Russia is now mobilizing even minors.

According to local Ukrainian media outlets such as Babel, Ukrainian police are investigating a 17-year-old Russian girl, referred to as 'A,' who was apprehended in Zhytomyr Oblast on suspicion of murdering a soldier. Police investigations revealed that 'A' poisoned a Ukrainian soldier in his 20s by mixing a sedative-type drug into his alcohol.

It was also discovered that prior to the incident, 'A' had been in contact with a man via the closed social networking service Telegram. Investigators stated that this man is believed to be an agent of a Russian special agency.

Following the agent's instructions, 'A' reportedly received a package containing what is presumed to be a sedative at the end of last month. She then drank alcohol with the Ukrainian soldier at an apartment, at which point she is believed to have mixed the prepared drug into his drink. When the soldier lost consciousness after consuming the alcohol, 'A' left the scene.

The soldier was discovered on the afternoon of the 4th (local time) after a local resident reported the incident. Subsequently, 'A' was arrested at her residence.

Russia has frequently resorted to poisonings using chemical substances, drawing international condemnation. In March 2018, Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found poisoned by 'Novichok' in Salisbury, United Kingdom. Novichok is a nerve agent developed during the Soviet Union era and is known as one of the most potent chemical weapons produced in Russia.

Meanwhile, with the war between Ukraine and Russia continuing for more than four years, incidents threatening even Russia’s mainland and industrial regions are increasing. According to the Associated Press and other sources, since last month, Ukraine has used long-range drones to strike multiple areas, including the capital Moscow, expanding its targets from military facilities to oil refineries. These attacks are seen as attempts to cripple Russia’s military capabilities by destroying oil refineries, which are a key export for Russia.
