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.

    Your link shows an incident of the IDF lying about knowing where Israeli hostages were held. I don’t see how that refutes a single thing I said.

    What false equivalency has been made?

    In Ukraine it is illegal to put military infrastructure next to civilians. In Gaza military infrastructure is only put next to civilians. Where is the equivalency? Make a real argument.
