Putin's new false flag operation? Russian propaganda channel claims troops have been poisoned in Ukraine amid fears the Kremlin is planning to use fake news as an excuse to use chemical weapons

The Kremlin's propaganda arm has claimed Russian troops were 'poisoned in a chemical attack in Ukraine', prompting fears Moscow will seek to justify the use of chemical weapons in the country.
Putin mouthpiece Russia Today reported traces of Botulinum toxin Type B, which is an 'organic poison of artificial origin,' were found in samples taken from soldiers, according to a statement from Russia's defence ministry.
But Kyiv hit back, suggesting the soldiers simply could have eaten contaminated meat.
Kyiv was accused of 'domestic terrorism' and Russian troops were 'hospitalised with signs of severe poisoning' after being stationed near the village of Vasilyevka in the Zaporozhzhia region on July 31.
The statement added: 'The Zelensky regime has authorized terrorist attacks with the use of toxic substances against Russian personnel and civilians.'
But in response, an adviser to Ukraine's interior ministry said that the alleged poisoning could have been caused by Russian forces eating expired canned meat.
The Russian Ministry's report did not say how many servicemen had suffered or what their condition was now. It did not say what the 'supporting evidence' was.

Downtown Kyiv has been turned into a massive open-air museum of burned-out and captured Russian tanks as Putin's invasion of Ukraine continues to sputter.
Locals took to city centre thoroughfare Khreshchatyk Street today, stopping to take a look at dozens of military vehicles in the middle of the road.
The powerful image of the rusty weapons is the latest damning indictment of Russia's failure to capture Kyiv.

Russia proudly shows off an Australian Bushmaster as it adds the destroyed icon to a war trophy museum amid its bloody war with Ukraine

Russia has displayed a destroyed Australian-made Bushmaster as part of a war trophy exhibition of military vehicles captured from Ukrainian forces.
The gutted and blast-damaged Bushmaster was shown with a placard and sign displaying Australian flag in Patriot Park, which is located just outside Moscow.
It was reported in May that one of the 20 Australian Bushmasters vehicles sent as military aid to Ukrainian forces was destroyed between Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
Footage emerged of a burnt-out wreckage of a Bushmaster sitting in an empty field but a Ukrainian commander told an Australian reporter all those in the vehicle survived.

Pretty thin gruel there. The bragging simply demonstrates the Orcs' weakness.

I agree, but looking at the map the 20% of Ukraine the Orcs took early on in the invasion hasn't changed all that much. Ukraine is going to have to start retaking territory soon, while Russia's resources and manpower is depleted. If not the Russians may solidify their gains. What's worse is the 20% they've taken includes what used to be big manufacturing areas as well as having large deposits of natural gas and oil.
