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.

    Way to both sides the “conflict” when one side is succeeding in a genocide. Judging what a population does in their struggle for existence is missing the forest for the trees.

      Make a fucking argument instead of meaningless phrases. Why is it both sides to state a genocide is exactly what Hamas wanted to happen. That is why they build military facilities within and under civilians homes/infrastructure. The point of the post…

      You are just blindly spouting talking points, instead of meaningfully engaging the difference between Ukraine and Hamas.

        My brother in christ, you accuse me of what you yourself are doing. One side lives in an open air prison and the other has built that prison, including many of the tunnels. Like there’s your difference!
