Russians claim Ukranian forces are dropping booby-trapped chocolate bars on Russian trenches.

"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."
SOURCES?
I've asked about 10 times, but no one can seem to provide a single reputable journalistic source. Is that really such a tall order? Follow facts, not feelings...
We're... supposed to believe Russia!? According to them, they still haven't violently invaded Ukraine, kidnapped children, or committed war crimes!
(To be clear, any war crimes need to be stopped, investigated, and prosecuted.)
EDIT: Wait, there's not even an article to look into sources? Just text and an image!? If this isn't my specific app not cross-linking properly, this post has to violate community rules, right? Or at least it should...
No.
I do not post link to pro-Russian sources. You can do a reverse image search, if you so wish.

"Pro-Russian" sources? I think you misunderstand. I'm curious why there are no sources. Like, at all. Not just from you, but any that actually exist! I can't find anything. Here's a search that should be broad enough:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Russia%20claim%20ukraine%20chocolate&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m#sbfbu=1&pi=Russia%20claim%20ukraine%20chocolate
Adding "explosive" to the query doesn't yield any better results. We don't have to link propaganda, but if Russia is claiming this, there would be English-language articles about the claim, yes? Again, if anyone has any source, please post it... But no, "do your own research" isn't sufficient for a claim with literally nothing to back it up.
The sources are all Russian.

...What sources? You act like language is a wall. Like there's no journalist in the world that speaks Russian. Information knows no borders.
This is the biggest global conflict right now, including Israel.
He's saying there are none.
Which is when I wouldn't be posting this hot garbage, but I don't think he understands that by spreading this he's engaging in Russian propaganda, even when he's posting it to show us "what a crazy unfounded claim they made."
It's a bit like linking to some stupid influencer who you hate. Don't give them the attention, that's exactly what they want.
Same thing with these stories.
But looking at his profile I don't think he's pro-Russian. Just... silly.
