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.

So the damage caused by these secondaries probably lead to these deaths, hence why Ukraine is going public about it.
The Ukrainian language isn’t allowed here for some reason. On a community called “World News” that says “Not United States Internal News”[sic] in the rules. Or it’s not the community fault, I don’t know…
I believe they do this because they want all articles to be in English. The way they implement this is to allow only the Latin script to be used for submissions.
Mod (on another community) here. You can select specifically which languages you want to allow, and then if the user tell it is written in another language (through the dropdown near the editor), it will refuse the post.
You can still post in Ukrainian if you lie and tell it it is English 😆.
You can, but don’t expect that to spark a lot of discussion. Limitation is set to English so that majority of participants can understand what you’re saying. It wouldn’t add much to the thread if this comment was written on Finnish (my native language).
If you are replying to someone claiming to be Finnish followed by some bs then maybe it would…
Damn that’s crazy, so Russia wasn’t bombing civilians in Kiev?
They have been bombing civilians from the start of the war and ramping up those attacks as part of a terrorisation and demoralisation campaign. They are also bombing legit military targets. These things are not mutually exclusive.
Also: Kyiv*
As a Ukrainian I’m happy to spell Kiev the traditional English way

It sounds like they missed some civilians and accidentally hit an unfortunately-located legitimate military target instead.
Strange that western media didnt show this news
There’s plenty of news coverage on this on multiple outlets. BBC, Reuters and a ton of European national broadcasting companies, for example.
I might have missed it, thank you.
This is the kind of thing entities like Hamas need to learn to crack down on. Its a lot harder to say “oops we missed your valid military target and hit a school instead” if the valid military target is a decent distance from civilian infrastructure. Even Iran is pretty bad at that.
Israel has systematically embedded its military command centres, bases and nuclear sites within densely populated areas. This strategy deliberately puts Israeli civilians at risk — especially now, as missile attacks continue to escalate between Israel and Iran.
What a stupid take where you are not only fully consuming and regurgitating Israeli talking points but also creating false equivalencies.
I had a lot of sympathy for Ukraine in 2022. But I lost all of it when Zelenky started shilling for Israel.
You lost sympathy for the people of Ukraine, because their leader does the same as most leaders of other western countries?
How would the US and Europe react if he was pro-Palestine?
