    It’s not a war crime of the people poisoning the fruit are not combatants. They could probably be tried for manslaughter, and I doubt Russia would be very lenient.

      People don’t get a ‘get out of war crimes’ card by not being officially in the military. If they purposefully took hostile action in the conflict they’re combatants, uniformed or not. The use of poison is a war crime.
