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.

    I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

    Israel doesn’t really make those kinds of translation mistakes.

    That they are fluent enough in Arabic and they purposefully lied?

      Umm, yeah? I know this may come as a shock, but sometimes Bibi is less than truthful.

      I know that any criticism of Hamas immediately brands me as some kind of Zionist shill, but I’m under no delusions about the fact that Bibi is a war criminal. I am surrounded by many extremely pro-Israel family members. The amount of times I’ve heard “technically its not really a genocide” and had to tell them that “technically I only committed manslaughter, not murder” isn’t exactly a good thing is ridiculous.

      For the record, I personally believe the Israeli government is probably committing a genocide, even by technical terms. But even if by technicality they aren’t, I don’t think that absolves their government at all. I just dont think that millions of people should be kicked out of their homes, on either side. Sadly that seems to be a largely minority opinion these days.
