A Ukrainian grandmother has narrowly escaped death after a Russian soldier gave her a booby-trapped carton of milk loaded with explosives.
In a disturbing new twist to Putin's war on Ukraine, Russian soldiers are now pretending to hand out 'humanitarian aid'.
But when the pensioner from the besieged city of Kherson went to open the screw top carton she noticed wires attached to the lid.
Further investigation revealed the wires led to a detonator.
The OAP's son told local media in.kherson.ua: 'My retired mother noticed that there was something wrong with this milk, as if someone had been drinking from it before, or if it was broken.
'She carefully unscrewed the cap and showed me what was there.'
The boobytrapped milk carton contained a homemade explosive attached to a fishing line which when opened would detonate the bomb.
