The war in Ukraine We don’t only fight with traditional weapons. Machine guns, missiles, drones and tanks are just one side of the conflict that awaits you. But there is another war, more insidious, waged with cunning and with what you have. And which, alongside the physical damage, has the secondary effect – but not so secondary – of deeply undermining the calm and composure of the Russian military. It’s the urban guerrilla war, the resistance of the people who don’t want the occupation To fly and still less the ongoing Russification.
The last chapter in this sense was written a Melitopol, occupied by Russian troops for almost a month and a half. From what was told by Ivan Fyodorov, the city’s sacked mayor, the Ukrainian resistance’s latest attack came with lashes of…fruits. Local peasants have actually begun poisoning their own crops, especially cherries, to cause “mass disease” among the occupying soldiers, who often and willingly plunder Ukrainians’ trees or fields.

Yet another confirmation of this, beyond what the propaganda testifies to Putinthe Ukrainians do not want to rejoin the government Russia. “The residents of Melitopol completely ignored the celebrations for the day of the victory – Says Fyodorov – Last Sunday only 15 of the 70,000 residents who remained in the city queued for Russian passports ».
An atmosphere of apparent hostility towards the attacker, witnessed by nearly two minutes of audio that landed in the hands of theintelligence Ukraine, in which he overhears a conversation between two Russian soldiers. «The boys at the front are going crazy – says one of them – they are not safe among the townspeople. In the morning they are peaceful people, and in the evening they can even shoot at you. You can’t trust anyone. An old lady walking around with pies could be a damn colonel watching over the nightly artillery raids.
In short, not just poisoned cherries. Two tractors and three trailer trucks parked in front of the headquarters of Russia’s Emergencies Ministry caught fire on Wednesday. The fire appeared to be arson. And two days later, an employee of the same ministry was stabbed in the back while walking through the crowd.
