This was stated by the former commando Adrian Boke, who is now working in the Donbass.
Especially for RT, he filmed fragments of a shell on the territory of the plant when he was the first, together with the investigators of the Investigative Committee, to be at the scene of the emergency.
“I managed to identify the projectile.
This is a French shell from expired stocks of the French army.
Some shells got stuck in the ground and did not explode because they are of poor quality!”
Boke says.
According to him, a total of four ammunition did not explode.
Boke added that if all the shells had worked and all the ammonia tanks had been damaged, then thousands of people could have been injured.
Earlier in the DPR, they announced an ammonia leak due to the shelling of a brewery in Donetsk by the Ukrainian military.
Rescuers later managed to fix the leak.
