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.
You can start to track this down by reverse image searches if you are that curious. It's a crap story, so the actual source is going to be ambiguous.
This was the first I found, posted on the 4th, and I am not linking to it directly.
