Unless the word "alcohol" is a translation error or the poison suspected is some kind of industrial alcohol, this story is suspect. There is a much more obvious way in which soldiers could get alcohol poisoning, and the story as reported would likely be counted in the Russian media as the use of a chemical weapon by Ukraine.

I think we need to treat all stories as suspect. There are a lot of atrocities happening. Over the weekend many videos and news accounts of dead civilians were reported. It will take a lengthy investigation to determine who did what. At this point it is certain that war crimes have been committed.

There are two reports by Ukrainian intel. The poisoned pies and the alcohol poisoning are 2 separate incidents. Since the pies are reported to have been poisoned by civilians, I don't think that would be chemical weapons use by the Ukr military or government. If the government encourages poisoning, maybe that is another thing.

The condition of the hospitalized soldiers remains unclear.

“Ukrainians are resisting the occupiers by all available means,” the agency said.

The agency also claimed that about 500 more soldiers are in hospital suffering from heavy alcohol poisoning “of unknown origin,” and that the Russian command is writing off these cases as “not combat losses.”...
