Fires in military warehouses in Ukraine will continue until the guilty will suffer a real punishment. Such an opinion on the TV channel "112 Ukraine" was expressed by the journalist, the founder of the Internet publication GORDON, Dmitry Gordon, commenting on the last fire at the arsenal in the Balakley of the Kharkov region.
"As soon as the beginning of May - and explodes. This is not funny at all! Who after the last explosions has been punished? The worst thing is that this will all continue, because no one for this has sat down and will not sit down. Swallow and this time. There are no actions on the part of the state that would force those responsible for military warehouses to deal with them as they should. And while there is no real responsibility - everything will be so. Here for a stolen bag of cabbage we can sit down, but for such things do not sate, "- said Gordon.
He said that in 1988, before demobilization from the army, the month unloaded warehouses in the Pskov region of Russia.
"We have overloaded artillery warehouses for a month - such a chord we had. I have never seen such a mess in my life. So it was back in Soviet times! Ammunition was stored incorrectly, everything was guarded barely. I think, now the situation is even worse, "- suggested the journalist.
In his opinion, negligence in the protection of military warehouses can be associated with low salaries.
"We spoke with [the chief military prosecutor] Anatoly Matios on this subject. Warehouses worth tens and hundreds of millions of dollars are guarded by people with a penny salary. That's impossible! Can not guard such money people who pay little. This is nonsense. In business this does not happen. In addition, I do not rule out that someone should hide the shortage. We also understand that they are selling weapons from the warehouses to the right and to the left. "- said Gordon.
For security in the arsenals are responsible people who got to their posts corruptly, he continued.
"It's someone's appointees. They were appointed either by blat, or grandmother, to bring money up. That is, everything is so tied that no one can clean up, otherwise the entire corrupt system falls apart. And the fact that the system in the Ministry of Defense (as well as in other ministries) is corrupt, I have no doubts, "the journalist stressed..
