- Ukraine detained a 17-year-old girl in Zhytomyr region on suspicion of lacing drugs sent to soldiers.
- FSB allegedly instructed the girl to send lethal doses of drugs to the military, in an accusation that she was helping Russia kill Ukrainian soldiers.
Why it matters: For the 17-year-old, the immediate consequence is detention; for Ukrainian soldiers, the accusation identifies them as the intended recipients of allegedly lethal drug doses. The case also explicitly names the FSB as the alleged instructor and Russia as the alleged beneficiary.
