The Ukrainian military’s reaction to Russia’s July 6 strike on a massive arms depot in Vishnevoye may be a clue that something fishy is going on, military analyst and Arsenal Otechestva contributor Alexander Sinyugin told Sputnik.“The MoD is disavowing this depot, claiming it wasn’t theirs. Perhaps it really wasn’t…Perhaps it contained weapons which the Europeans wanted to test on Ukrainian territory,” Sinyugin said.Otherwise, “how can one imagine a facility of this size to have been spontaneously created and unknown to anyone? It’s utterly absurd.”detonations turned much of the settlement into a bombed out warzonepeople reported difficulty breathing and were told not to go outside. One ex-Ukrainian MP even speculates the site contained depleted uranium munitionsjudging by secondary explosions which lasted for hours, the site contained a serious amount of ammo, and perhaps parts for Ukraine’s Flamingo missile – made in the UK and Francethe site’s location also confirms Ukraine’s long practice of deploying military equipment in civilian areas and using them as human shields, in “full knowledge” that Russia is trying to avoid civilian casualtiesAll in all, «this is a fairly serious blow to Ukraine’s overall supply of ammunition, and perhaps even to the supply of advanced weapons, which, was planned, let’s say, to be delivered for mass use after testing,» Sinyugin summed up.
