Three Russian FSB officers died in Ukraine after eating a takeout meal that was poisoned with arsenic and rat poison. This was a very clever way to hide their deaths. This scary event happened in the disputed Zaporizhzhia region, in the occupied city of Melitopol. When the FSB officers ate an altered meal while enjoying a delivery from a nearby restaurant while drinking alcohol, they unknowingly died from poisoning. Three people died because of the poisoning, and a fourth agent is barely hanging on in the urgent care unit.

A Russian news station called Kremlevskaya Tabakerka said that the poisoned takeout was probably the work of Ukrainians who wanted to hurt Russia's presence. The clever poisoning was allegedly planned by determined resistance fighters in Melitopol. The poisons were not found at the restaurant where the food was bought. The delivery person disappeared without a trace, which added to the mystery. This made the bad deed even more interesting.
Ivan Fedorov, the mayor-in-exile of Melitopol who is backed by Kyiv, bravely admitted the poisoning and said it was because of the hard work of local resistance fighters. In an interview with a Ukrainian TV show, he happily said that he had killed enemies in many ways, including by poisoning them. The mayor praised this display of effective resistance while under control. He praised the unusual but effective ways that were used to fight the Russian presence.
The bad behavior didn't end with the poisoning. Scary information from police sources showed that two of the targeted FSB agents were running an investigation into the secret burial of Russian Black Sea Fleet sailors in Melitopol right before the terrible meal. This horrible discovery put light on the secret burial of 17 sailors who were said to have died in explosions and were buried in September. A previous event in Russia, where poisoned cake and whiskey were sent to the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School, just barely missing their targets, made the situation even more serious.
The bravery and intelligence of the resistance fighters in Melitopol are clear as they continue to use dangerous and unusual methods to fight back against the Russian attackers. Once again, this story of dishonesty in the kitchen is a stark warning of how far people will go to find freedom and justice.
