The newspaper talked about a Ukrainian soldier who described his day as starting with an energy drink, and during patrol he could not do without it, and even before the attack he drank an energy drink.
The newspaper noted in another testimony from an infantry sergeant that “energy drinks caused deaths, and he cited an incident where one of his subordinates was found sitting motionless in the toilet with an energy drink can in his hand, and doctors were unable to save him due to his excessive consumption of these drinks despite his suffering from heart disease.”
In a related context, the Russian Ministry of Defense spoke about the discovery of narcotic materials in abandoned Ukrainian sites, which reinforces its interpretation of the cruelty and aggression of Ukrainian forces towards the residents of Donbass.
The head of the radiological, chemical and biological protection forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kirillov, pointed out that large quantities of narcotic drugs were found in the sites from which the Ukrainian army withdrew, including methadone, codepsin, codeterb, ephedrine, and triphedrine. He explained that these drugs cause addiction and have some harmful effects. Also, like excessive aggressiveness.
