Top officials at Ukroboronprom, Ukraine’s state-owned defense conglomerate, violated the law by allowing weapons depots to be located in the Kyiv suburb of Vyshneve, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on July 11.
The announcement comes after Zelensky told journalists on July 9 that a criminal investigation had been launched into the massive explosions in Vyshneve during a recent Russian missile attack and that dismissals at Ukroboronprom would follow.
Vyshneve, a small town on the western outskirts of Kyiv, endured a night of terror on July 6 when it came under Russian drone and missile fire during a mass attack on the capital. An ammunition warehouse was hit, triggering secondary explosions. Seven people in Vyshneve were killed, while 29 others suffered injuries.
It really does suck that a leader of a country opressed by a fascist dictatorship turns to a another fascist dictator to save them. I have been voicing this for quite a while. Such deals come with strings attached and then you put your country under the yoke of another fascist. But nevertheless one less fascist is one less fascist. If Ukraine comes out of this dismantling Putin, I will take that (despite Israel also probably coming out of it stronger).
