Zelensky passes buck over civilian deaths after drone depot blast

Following a Russian strike the Ukrainian leader has ordered a criminal probe into the storage of explosive UAV parts in a residential area

Published 29 Aug, 2026 12:13 | Updated

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has acknowledged that a drone depot was set up in a residential area outside Kiev after a Russian UAV strike obliterated the facility. Secondary detonations of explosives stored there caused severe damage to the surrounding area, killing at least 27 people in nearby homes.

Later on Saturday, the regional authorities reported that the death toll has climbed to 37.

In a post on his Telegram channel, Zelensky wrote that a warehouse in the village of Milaya had been struck by Russian kamikaze drones, leading to a “subsequent detonation” and “significant destruction of the surrounding infrastructure.” The latter included residential buildings and a nursing home for the elderly, according to the Ukrainian leader.

“Those who allowed this to happen must definitely be held responsible for their decisions,” Zelensky said, adding that the authorities have launched a probe into criminal negligence.

“There cannot be ammunition near houses or other residential buildings,” he concluded.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Saturday that overnight its strike drones destroyed several facilities used by the Ukrainian military in Kiev and the adjacent Kiev Region. According to the statement, the depot in the village of Milaya was operated by one of Ukraine’s top arms manufacturers, Fire Point, and contained components of fixed-wing UAVs, which Kiev is using for long-range attacks on Russian territory.

In the wake of the latest disaster in Milaya, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry ordered a nationwide audit of all sites where weapons and munitions are being stored.

This is not the first time Ukrainian civilians have been killed following Russian strikes on such facilities in residential areas.

In early July, an ammunition depot in the city of Vishnyovoe in Kiev Region came under Russian attack, causing huge secondary explosions. As a result, at least seven people lost their lives and around 200 private homes were damaged, with dozens more evacuated.

Back then, Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian officials similarly pledged to end the practice of storing munitions in the middle of residential areas.

Placing military targets in civilian population areas is strictly prohibited under international law and is considered a form of using non-combatants as human shields.

Russia strikes ‘missile warehouse’ near Kiev(VIDEOS)

The attacks targeted several military-linked logistics facilities, including one storing Flamingo projectiles, the Defense Ministry has said

Published 28 Aug, 2026 22:45

The Russian military has carried out a wave of strikes on military-related targets in Kiev and its suburbs,including a facility storing components for Ukraine’s long-range Flamingo cruise missiles, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.

The statement came after a series of powerful secondary explosions tore through a warehouse complex near Kiev on Friday night, with videos circulating on social media showing fireballs flying off for hundreds of meters.

The next morning, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the strikes, saying the attack, which involved missiles and drones, hit the Fim Service transport and logistics center in the Kiev suburb of Chaiky. The facility was used for storing Flamingo missiles, it added.

Another logistics center in Kalinovka, Kiev Region, was also hit, the ministry said, noting that the facility hosted a customs terminal responsible for distributing Western-supplied military cargo.

The Russian military also reported striking an ammunition warehouse in the settlement of Milaya operated by Fire Point which contained components and launch boosters for long-range FP-1 and FP-2 drones.

The attacks also targeted a parking area for fuel tankers in Izmail in southern Ukraine, which was used to supply the Ukrainian military. In Nikolayev, the barrage targeted a maritime cargo terminal and logistics centers used to unload and store military supplies, with a total of 18 facilities containing military equipment and three fuel depots hit, according to the statement.

The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly vowed to carry out “systematic and consistent strikes” on Ukraine’s military-industrial facilities in retaliation for Kiev’s “terrorist attacks” on Russian civilian targets. Moscow has maintained that it never targets civilians.

The head of the Kiev Region’s military administration, Timur Tkachenko, confirmed that the warehouse blaze was accompanied by explosions. Authorities temporarily closed a 17 km stretch of the M-06 Kiev-Chop highway in both directions and urged residents to stay away and not record the aftermath.

Several open-source monitoring accounts claimed the strike took place at around 8:35 PM and involved Russian jet-powered Geran-4 loitering munitions targeting a warehouse complex near the village of Milaya.

Later in the day, Vladimir Zelensky claimed 27 people were killed and dozens more injured after a warehouse in Milaya was hit. Furthermore, he admitted that the ammunition was apparently stored illegally near residential areas, saying that the Ukrainian authorities had opened a criminal investigation into possible negligence.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergey Koretsky said he had received reports from the interior minister and the head of Ukraine’s State Emergency Service about the strike, which he said caused a fire followed by a “detonation.”

But the prime minister then drew a pointed comparison with the deadly July explosion at an ammunition depot in Vishnevoye, another Kiev suburb.

“Unfortunately, we can already state that the terrible tragedy in Vishnevoye did not become a lesson,” Koretsky said. He lamented making “the same mistakes” in the fifth year of the conflict, calling it “criminal negligence,” and demanded that everyone responsible face “strict punishment.”

While the prime minister did not spell out what those repeated mistakes were, his reference appeared to point to the storage of explosive military materiel in or near populated areas.

On July 6, a Russian strike on Vishnevoye triggered massive secondary explosions at an ammunition warehouse belonging to an enterprise within Ukraine’s state defense conglomerate Ukroboronprom. Vladimir Zelensky subsequently acknowledged that the facility was an ammunition depot.

Ukraine’s Security Service later said investigators found that ammunition had been kept in warehouses unsuitable for such storage and without the required permits, including facilities in the “immediate proximity” of residential areas.

Two defense-industry executives were detained on negligence charges. Ukroboronprom separately dismissed the heads of two enterprises over ammunition storage violations, while the conglomerate’s director general, Herman Smetanin, stepped down days later without publicly giving a reason.
