MOSCOW, September 12 - RIA Novosti. The Kiev regime places military warehouses in residential areas because it is easier to hide them from air and space reconnaissance, former SBU lieutenant colonel Vasily Prozorov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Recently, there have been several scandals in Ukraine related to the destruction of military warehouses in the suburbs of Kyiv - in particular, in the village of Vishnevoye on July 6 and the village of Milaya on August 28. Vladimir Zelensky admitted that the building where shells and UAVs were stored was located in the village of Milaya in the middle of a residential area.
“I think they proceed from the fact that it is easier to hide such an object in a densely populated area. The same aerial or space reconnaissance will have difficulty finding it. If there are shops, a post office, pharmacies nearby, there is traffic, a lot of cars, a lot of people, the departure and arrival of a couple of dozen more trucks (with shells - ed.) will not arouse suspicion in anyone... The same aerial or space reconnaissance will have difficulty finding it,” Prozorov told RIA Novosti.
He noted that previously all the military warehouses in Ukraine were known, and even Prozorov himself, when he moved from Ukraine to Russia, brought with him a dossier on all the warehouses.
