Except help, if any, traps and traps to commit other war crimes. TO Kherson, a Ukrainian city compared to Bucha for the horrific massacres that took place, a life was saved by a happy accident of fate. An explosive was attached to a cardboard box milk which was part of a Russian humanitarian aid package given to a woman from the town, local sources said. The moment she opened the supplies given to her, she fled in fear after seeing the bomb in the container.
What happened?
The story was reconstructed by Newsweek: The lucky lady’s surviving son told local media that his retired mother brought home an aid package from the Russian military, despite the strict recommendation: don’t accept anything. The city’s residents have repeatedly refused these packages of food and provisions since the first day of the occupation by Russian troops. Now the situation is getting worse and worse desperate, some locals accept them more often despite the many risks they take. The lady said that among the products, which included oil and muesli, there was also a packet of milk that looked like it had already been opened.
That alarm bell
Something was wrong and the lady noticed it immediately. “My mother saw that the twist in the milk wasn’t airtight, she thought someone had already drunk it, that it might be spoiled,” the son told local media. At this point the bitter discovery: “He carefully unscrewed it and saw something like one Row and he showed me. “The images posted in In Kherson show the milk carton with what looks like an IED inside. The man pointed out that his mother was very lucky not to be blown up.
No Russian comments
Users of a Kherson Facebook group reported that the food distributed was often unfit for consumption and past its sell-by date. Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment, which has so far never arrived. On April 13, several cases were reported in a Facebook group called Our Kherson. intoxication Diet of food distributed by Russian forces with two people who have reportedly died. In early April, Ukraine’s Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky said Russian troops had attacked the homes of state employees and booby-trapped their vehicles and homes. Meanwhile, Kherson appears to be the scene of a guerrilla war between Ukrainian resistance fighters and Russian occupiers.
“Genocide of the Ukrainian people”
A few days ago, troops from a Rosgward police unit hoisted the red “Victory Flag”, a flag from the Soviet era, as a sign of victory on the main flagpole in Cherson’s “Glory Alley”. “A true genocide of the Ukrainian people is taking place in Kherson. People are disappearing, some are being released, some are not, many are unknown. Buildings of architectural and historical importance are being destroyed, everything in Ukraine is being destroyed, even the souvenir shops are being bombed,” he told AdnKronos Yevhen Kuse, representative of the Christian Democratic Union in the Kherson region.The humanitarian situation is also complicated because the Russians have blocked all ways to bring aid to the city, even the attempts of the Ukrainian government are useless. “There are no medicines in hospitals, pharmacies: if any of them arrive in the city, it is only thanks to the volunteers who, in their cars, are trying in every possible way to pass the checkpoints. Not only that. It is impossible to deliver food as well, like the hryvnia (Ukrainian currency, editor’s note), which they are trying to replace with rubles”.
