“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.”

    Explosives don’t seem smart. Why didn’t they poison the chocolate instead? The enemy opens the chocolate, sees nothing wrong with it, shares it with their mates, and then now you’ve got five casualties who are none the wiser. Is that against the rules of war or something?

        Booby trapping violate the same traties, especially hiding explosives in food. If ukrained wanted to commit war crimes, they would choose the smart way, this is just idiotic russians feeding lies to idiotic people

      Yes. Very much so. Just poison in general is a war crime, let alone hiding it in chocolate.

      Article 23(a) of the 1899 Hague Regulations provides: “It is especially prohibited … to employ poison or poisoned arms.”
