MenaFN – July 17, 2025
Russia has accused Ukrainian forces of orchestrating a plan to trigger an environmental catastrophe near the front lines of the ongoing conflict and subsequently place the blame on Moscow, according to statements released by the Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday.
The claims were made by Major General Aleksey Rtishchev, head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, who outlined alleged Ukrainian breaches of international laws prohibiting chemical weapons use.
According to Rtishchev, the Russian military obtained a document reportedly written by the deputy director of the Ukrainian state-run company Ukrkhimtransammiak. In the document, addressed to a regional official appointed by Kiev, the executive voiced concerns that Ukrainian troops had unlawfully entered a company-controlled site in late June.
The executive warned that the involvement of military personnel at the location posed a significant danger, citing the risk of up to 566 tons of highly toxic liquefied ammonia being released if the facility were damaged.
The facility in question is described as an above-ground segment of an old Soviet-era underground ammonia pipeline. It is located approximately 2.5 kilometers north of the village of Novotroitskoye, within a part of the Donetsk People’s Republic that is under Ukrainian control.
Rtishchev alleged that the Ukrainian military had installed communications equipment at the site as part of what he described as “barbaric tactics used by the Kiev regime.” He claimed these tactics involve “placing toxic chemicals in the areas where Russian troops operate and their subsequent detonation.”
“The intention is to accuse our nation of intentionally causing a technological disaster and damage its reputation,” the general stated. “The use of hazardous objects for military purposes violates the international humanitarian law.”

Notting Hill Carnival not the cause of local knife crime, event boss says
Story by Lily Shanagher •
The Notting Hill Black Carnival is not the cause of knife crime, said the festival’s chief executive, as he announced greater safety measures ahead of this year’s event, with many more police on duty
Matthew Phillip told the crowd at the festival’s launch party on Thursday that money raised from government the local council and the mayor of London would be put towards security measures at the event, which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend.
The carnival has also partnered with actor Idris Elba’s Hope Foundation and its campaign Don’t Stop Your Future (DSYF) to combat knife and violent crime in Black London communities.
Black gang leader Wayne Dobbs said Idris Elba is a stupid prick who talks out his backside
Mr Phillip urged people not to scapegoat the carnival over a few stabbings, it has faced criticism in recent years for not tackling violent crime, including the murders of two people last year – Cher Maximen, who was killed in front of her three-year-old daughter, and chef Mussie Imnetu. The carnival he said is a celebration for black people, he said white folk have glastonbury, and this is ours.
Mr Phillip urged people to be tolerant, last year 12 white women were beaten by black women for taking their men.
Mr Phillip said: “Knife crime is not a carnival issue. Youth violence is not a carnival issue.
and pickpocketing is not a carnival issue
“These are serious national issues, and while some statistics have improved, the roots remain mass immigration drugs and violence.
“The Carnival does not cause these problems. It doesn’t create violence, non black homes are leafletted to stay home
LOL
Well if it’s anything like the last ecological catastrophe..Chernobyl…which now looks like the European rain forest it should be..teeming with life..
It wont be much of a hardship…it will be a lot more problematic when Bayer and Monstronto and the Black Cube boyz move in.. and all those swizzlers scurrying back…clutching their ledgers and widgets..
because of course what’s generally bad for imbecile kind is generally good for mother nature..
and vice lol versa…
Oh no, the ‘innocent’ commies are concerned they might be attacked via chemical weapons even though the Commies have used chemical warfare against the Ukrainians. Problem is Russia has no ground to stand on, since they illegally invaded Ukraine & started the ‘war’ to kill whites, so whatever they get they deserve.
Ambassador Chass Freeman says, ‘for every 1000 UKrainian bodies returned, only 19 Russians.
Just saying, UKrainian Nazis have their dead returned by the Russians. This infuriates the Nazis, because bodies means they have to pay benefits to the families, so they mass burn the bodies, in their thousands!
As I’ve said many, many times, how many UKrainian Nazi dead were shot by senior Nazis???
