The police went to apprehend the female suspects at a private house in Yalta but were surprised to find them "well armed" and "well prepared," the post said.

You are surprised that two resistance fighters who risked their lives to kill the invaders were prepared for shit to get hot?...

They just eat and drink the stuff some random people they just made war against brought them. Smert!

When your own country gives you expired rations, just about anything else looks appealing.

That's kind of the point. Well. Close. Having people rely on me keeps me going. I've always liked the idea of helping other people immigrate.

Sounds like they have a thing for strong women, unlike you....

Maybe he was referring to their proficiency in poisoning...

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Maybe that's what makes him interested...

Well, that's material for a future Sabaton song right there.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ukrainian saboteurs who are alleged to have poisoned and killed 46 Russian soldiers are on the run in annexed Crimea after a shoot-out with police, a local report says.

Two young saboteurs who had poisoned members of the Russian military in Simferopol and Bakhchisarai fled when authorities attempted to detain them in Crimea, Telegram channel Kremlin Snuffbox said on Tuesday.

It was reported in December that members of a Ukrainian partisan group called Crimean Combat Seagulls poisoned and killed 24 Russian soldiers after lacing their vodka with arsenic and strychnine.

At the time, Snuffbox quoted unnamed sources as saying that "two nice girls" tricked the unit in Simferopol, Crimea, into drinking the vodka, per the Kyiv Post translation.

In another incident, saboteurs killed 18 and hospitalized 14 Russian personnel in Bakhchisarai, Crimea, by putting arsenic and rat poison in pies and beer, Kremlin Snuffbox previously reported.

Russian military personnel stationed in Crimea have been asked not to take any food or any drinks from strangers and to detain any suspicious young women who approach them to prevent further incidents of poisoning,

Can't decide if Crimean Combat Seagulls or Kremlin Snuffbox should be the name of the screenplay (or my new band name)

I'm sure there's got to be a Ukrainian equivalent to 'Allo 'Allo!, only it's Slavic and brutal as fuck.
