“Found these in the Zaporizhzhya direction. The enemy is throwing chocolates with an explosive mechanism. Do not open them under any circumstances. Our guy was lucky that it did not detonate, otherwise he could have ended up crippled. I know guys whose fingers were torn off like that.”

    We’re… supposed to believe Russia

    No.

    Wait, there’s not even an article to look into sources

    I do not post link to pro-Russian sources. You can do a reverse image search, if you so wish.

      SOURCES?

      I’ve asked about 10 times, but no one can seem to provide a single reputable journalistic source. Is that really such a tall order? Follow facts, not feelings…

      “Pro-Russian” sources? I think you misunderstand. I’m curious why there are no sources. Like, at all. Not just from you, but any that actually exist! I can’t find anything. Here’s a search that should be broad enough:

      https://www.google.com/search?q=Russia claim ukraine chocolate&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m#sbfbu=1&pi=Russia claim ukraine chocolate

      Adding “explosive” to the query doesn’t yield any better results. We don’t have to link propaganda, but if Russia is claiming this, there would be English-language articles about the claim, yes? Again, if anyone has any source, please post it… But no, “do your own research” isn’t sufficient for a claim with literally nothing to back it up.

        You’re not going to find anything if you’re using Google for your searches.

        Try changing your location with a VPN. Search using Yandex. Translate your search to Russian first. Etc.

          …What sources? You act like language is a wall. Like there’s no journalist in the world that speaks Russian. Information knows no borders.

          This is the biggest global conflict right now, including Israel.
