A Ukrainian plot to assassinate a senior Russian military officer using beer contaminated with a powerful British-made chemical weapon was thwarted, the FSB has said.
According to the agency’s branch in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the scheme was organized by Ukraine’s military intelligence service, the HUR, which allegedly identified the target through a fabricated online persona – a young woman calling herself ‘Polina’. FSB investigators believe the photos and videos used to establish the relationship were produced with AI and circulated for months to build the victim’s trust.
’Polina’ reportedly arranged to send the officer a gift of British beer via an intermediary. The courier, the FSB said, was already under investigation for smuggling explosives and other contraband into Russia from Ukraine-controlled territory using drones. He was detained immediately after delivering the package.
Testing of the beer revealed two toxic agents, including what the FSB described as a British-manufactured variant of the VX nerve agent. Had the intended victim consumed it, he would have suffered a painful death within 20 minutes, the statement said.
Only cowards resort to assassination and terror.
That’s a shame
Slabba Poopani!!!
I excitedly await the wagons! Are they for your officers or troops, who knows!
That they didnt send it back in new packaging, yes.
No, that they didn’t manage to kill more of their invaders.

I’m kinda interested to hear why you think I’m a Nazi.
Too many possibilities for you to narrow it down for yourself?
No, because I’ve never supported fascists or exterminating people. I’m just curious to hear what you think a Nazi is and how that applies to me.

Do you support the Ukraine?
Yo what’s the context here? What did adult swim do? (Other than Rick and Morty)
You’re missing a bit with the removed comments - they were talking about how Ukraine should assassinate more Russians.
I was making a glib connection between my idea of someone who loves adult swim enough to make an account on an instance devoted to it (like a millenial irony-poisoned south park-ite) and fascism.
Incidentally, Adult Swim did run Sam Hyde’s stuff for a bit, which is straight-up fascist, so there’s not nothing there.
Mostly this is just me being petty and mean.
What no knowledge of the conflict does to a mf’er.
I’m well aware that Russia invaded Ukraine.
“I’m well aware that Russia invaded Nazi Germany”
I think you might want to consult a map.
So you think history began in 22. In short, you know nothing.
Do you believe that Putin woke up one day and decided “I’m gonna order the invasion of Ukraine, just because.”, wars never happen like that. The one in Ukraine had a decades long prelude and 8 years of ukranian provocations.
Ok, buddy
This is .ml, being rational doesnt work here unfortunately
Well, its largely frowned upon to kill western banks and politicians so I’m not sure thats their best idea as of now.
What politician? A military leader was the target.
You’re thick as a brick my friend.
The first “invasion” that has happened in ukraine was by the west, supporting fascists that murdered civilians and took over the country.
This is all public record. You can just look the sources up in the ukraine community on this server.
The west is the main perpetrator here. That is why i deliberately misunderstood your reactionary snap and pointed at the actual perpetrators.
I know this will probably fall on deaf ears as western propaganda is working well but I’ll always give it a shot. Please give direct sources from ukraine an honest shot and you will see that the western narrative doesnt hold up at all.
It sure is funny that you’ve managed to convince yourself that the rest of the world is running a mass propaganda campaign against a single country.
No, it couldn’t be the fact that authoritarian dictators often use propaganda to convince their people that the whole world is the enemy.
You know, if I had convinced myself of that, it would be very easy to prove.
But thats not what happened.
I started by reading about the global south, about socialist countries, about cointelpro and other openly accessible programs. That is stuff that you can look up.
I kept seeing people claiming that russia wasnt just “invading monsters” but actually had a point with their interests being systematically hurt until things escalated.
And nobody says russia is not doing propaganda, or that ukraine somehow is the only “bad guy” here.
The point I - and a ton of others - are making is that there is a ton of additional stuff to this story which you should not discount.
Because if you reduce your point to a sentence, it would be: “all that russia says is propaganda and all of the people who are in ukraine atm who actually say the western narrative is false, are liars or bots.”
Can you see how this is a terrible and easily refutable take?
Even the official western outlets agree that there are nazis in ukraine, that there are rapes being perpetrated by ukrainians, that civilians are being murdered by ukrainians, etc. Its not like any of this was “secret knowledge”.
Please check the sources.
