Every year army warehouses in Ukraine explodes and burns for to cover their criminal actions: A serious allegation for which you advance no proof.Originally Posted by Moses
Rather like similar explosions in Russia. For example, "Massive explosion at Russian military arsenal" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK_WDxjhu0Y and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2xlqXLJuBc. "Huge fire balls followed by delayed sonic booms were caught on camera in Siberia after a fire at a Russia military storage base. One person was killed and at least seven more were injured when the fire triggered huge explosions that sent shrapnel flying. Thousands of local residents were evacuated from nearby neighborhoods." That was on on August 6, 2019. On August 9th, explosions again rocked the ammunition depot in Siberia, injuring nine people, according to the state-run TASS news agency (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/blast...iberia/1553805). The military base is near the city of Achinsk,184 kilometers west of Krasnoyarsk. Twice in one week. Whose criminal actions did it cover?
Ichnya 2018. 23 days of blasts and explosions: Ichnya was suspected to be sabotage - "Deputy commander of the General Staff, Rodyon Tymoshenko, told a news conference the incident began with four explosions across the depot. The intensity of the blasts suggests that it was most probably sabotage," (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45794963). The same BBC report continues: Ammunition depot explosions have happened before in Ukraine, as the country continues its fight against pro-Russian separatists in its eastern regions.In September 2017, 28,000 people were evacuated after a huge fire raged at a military arms depot in central Ukraine, while in March that same year an ammo dump at a base near Kharkiv suffered a series of explosions." It also notes: "Ammunition depot explosions are unfortunately regular occurrences here. In part that is due to the large amount of Soviet-era munitions that Ukraine still has and in part because much of it is being stored inadequately, or even kept in the crates in the open rather than secured underground. Each time another depot combusts the question is raised as to whether the fault lies with the shoddy storage or whether more sinister forces are at play. This time it took just seven hours from the first explosion for the defense ministry to come forward and put its case. Information was presented that guided the public very firmly away from military negligence towards the idea that this was sabotage. Sabotage in the Ukrainian context is almost always a thinly veiled suggestion that Russia, either directly or through its rebel proxies, is responsible. Moscow denies sending troops and weapons to help separatists in the conflict, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels." Ukrainian authorities have previously alleged that other explosions at munition depots, including ones near Kalynivka and Balaklia, were triggered by enemy drones targeting the area.
Ichnya 2018. 23 days of blasts and explosions: "By October 10, officials reported that the fires were under control" (https://medium.com/dfrlab/minskmonit...n-3360568b3380).
Impressive as these explosion were, they pale in comparison with the so-called "Severomorsk Disaster," a deadly series of munitions fires that resulted in the detonation and destruction of large amounts of munitions that lasted from May 13 to 17, 1984, within the Okolnaya naval munitions depot, near the Severomorsk Naval Base (headquarters of the Northern Fleet of the Soviet Navy). The detonation occurred in the Northern Russian "closed" town of Severomorsk, over ,448.4 kilometers) from Moscow.
Lazarenko did rank 8th, 3 places behind Slobodan Milosevic, on TI's Top 10 Corrupt Politicians list in 2004 - but the list has not been update since that year (https://www.infoplease.com/world/soc...orrupt-leaders).
However, as you raised the issues of corrupt politicians, you should be interested to see that the #2 on the list of the world's most corrupt politicians in 2020 was "2. Vladimir Putin (President of Russia). The second most corrupt politician on this planet 2018 is Putin. Interesting! the world’s most powerful man also called essentially the most corrupt. Vladimir Putin, who was the three-time elected Prime minister of Russia, presently he’s the president of Russia since 2012. Throughout his profession, he has loved excessive home approval rankings and acquired intensive worldwide consideration as one of many world’s strongest leaders." The-then President of Ukraine - Poroshenko - didn't get a look-in until he was named as #9: 9. Petro Poroshenko ( President of Ukraine). Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko is the present President of Ukraine. Spotted at ninth place on our listing of 10 most corrupt politicians on this planet 2018. He is called the destroyer of Ukraine’s economic system. According to Ukraine Accountability Bearue, he looted greater than $Three billion" (https://www.fakoa.com/10-most-corrup...er_of_Iceland; and https://www.wonderslist.com/10-most-...t-politicians/).
Russia is ranked #136 on TI's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index, and Ukraine at #129 ((https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021).
