A 19-year-old resident of Poltava region is suspected of being involved in a special operation by Russian intelligence services to kill a Ukrainian soldier through poisoned alcohol sent by mail as a “gift.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> the Zhytomyr Regional Prosecutor’s Office.<\/p>\n

According to the investigation, the man may have been recruited via Telegram, promising a monetary reward. He was allegedly given the task of organizing the poisoning of a 23-year-old serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“He was promised 5,000 hryvnias for completing the task,” the prosecutor’s office noted.<\/p>\n

According to law enforcement officials, the scheme continued to develop through fake social media accounts. They allegedly contacted the soldier under the guise of a girl through social media, established trusting communication, and agreed to send him a package with a “gift.”<\/p>\n

After that, the suspect, following the curator’s instructions, purchased a bottle of alcohol and, according to the investigation, added a toxic substance to it using a syringe without damaging the packaging. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“He acted according to clear instructions and did not violate the external integrity of the packaging,” the prosecutor’s office reported.<\/p>\n

The package was sent to a soldier, who later consumed the contents and died in hospital a few days later without regaining consciousness. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The suspect was detained at his place of residence. He has now been notified of the suspicion and the issue of a preventive measure in the form of detention is being resolved.<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement officers are identifying other possible participants in the scheme.<\/p>\n
