How Mysterious Explosions In Bulgaria Are Connected To Russia's War In Ukraine

A string of mysterious explosions and a poisoning have targeted Bulgaria's arms industry, which has been a crucial supplier of weapons to Ukraine.
But amid mounting evidence of Russian involvement, critics accuse Bulgarian authorities of dragging their feet in their investigations of these unsolved blasts.
A new @svobodna-evropa documentary looks into evidence of Russian sabotage, claims that there have been cover-ups by Bulgarian authorities, and whether Bulgarian arms depots are still at risk as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters a second year.

That's why God invented KZbin, Bellingcat and Radio Free Europe. Putin has been running psy-ops designed to divide us against ourselves and sow discord throughout the free world. Why would citizens of your country....or any country....have slowly become more and more pro-Russian over the past 15 or so years? The same time period that Putin started to pivot away from the west and the EU? The US and the West have our problems and we have made some terrible mistakes over the past 40 neoliberal years, we're moving to fix that now, but Putin has decided that he doesn't just want to be the Czar of Russia, he wants to be the Capo Di Tutti Capi.. ..of the entire world and Chekka has always been effective at subversion....they've never stopped those efforts, they just have way more money to do them with now that they've sold the legacy of the Russian people and kept the money for themselves. There is no question that Ukraine was only invaded because Putin saw the West as divided and he thought that he had injected enough corruption into Ukraine. He was wrong. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Let`s say Russian investment in Russian/Bulgarian corruption is massive...as in CZ, SK, Serbia, EastGermany, Hungaria, Greece.

[@jillellis62]

there is no Russian aggression. There is USA and nato aggression. I’m in the USA and I say this with 100% certainty. If you watch channel “Patrick Lancaster”, you will see a USA navy vet who’s been in Ukraine 9 years filming the war. Putin only got involved one year ago. You will see proof that it is USA and nato weapons that target the civilians. Everyone is being lied to. Every news outlet is lying to us people and the truth must be known. If we don’t get the truth to light, the USA will continue to fund the damages done to ONLY East Ukraine. USA had an agreement to NOT spread nato East, but they’ve continued to do so. When USA nato said they were going to add Ukraine to nato, putin asked for a buffer zone to keep nato off of Russias front porch which is the right thing to have done. East Ukraine has been shelled for 9 years by Zelensky. The East Ukraine people voted to join russia by 85% in favor, because they’ve lived with the constant attack by Zelensky. Please, do not fall for the lies being told. Everyone wants to make putin out to be the bad guy, but he’s actually not. USA leadership are bullies. They make tons of money off forever wars. In the last 240 years, USA has only went 16 years with no war. This is the reality. They’ve got no mercy for anyone, including innocent kids. If they’re not stopped, you can expect this to continue. And every single place the USA has “helped” has ended up worse off than they began. Please do not fall for the lies. USA wanted this and they knew how to do it. They are the main ones pushing the great reset. And in order to build back better then everything must be torn down. You too are a target. The sooner you wake up and understand this, the better off you will be. We have to unite and stop ALL of the wars, for they serve no purpose except the military industrial complex of the USA. $120 billion to Ukraine & 1/3 of our military supplies have been sent there. Even USA is under attack in different ways by the DC leadership. It’s sad times, but more sad when people don’t know who is responsible. It IS Ukraine on behalf of the USA nato. They have zero mercy for anyone.

A huge part of this world, over a century of time. Vladimir Lenin made part of humanity unhappy. Unfortunately, some Russians still make mistakes in this direction, including President Vladimir Putin. What is the point exactly, Vladimir Lenin, after the armed takeover of power, formed the Bolshevik government and decided to disperse by force the elected in the democratic elections in December 1917. Legislative Assembly of Russia (constituent assembly of Russia). In the new Russian state, he created a one-party system in which the ruling party was the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and all this resulted from the mental problems of Vladimir Lenin, he experienced severe anxiety disorders. He believed that representative democracy was an illusion of true democracy and served to maintain bourgeois dictatorship. He cited the United States as an example of a bourgeois dictatorship. In his opinion, both parties of the US two-party system were run by "smart billionaires." The predictions of the perfection of socialism turned out to be wrong, you can see it by the fruits, to this day the socialist system has murdered about 160,000,000 people around the world, including often murdering their own and still doing it. In addition, people living in a democracy are "GENERALLY" satisfied and happy :) What can not be said about what is before and after 1990, after the collapse of the communist system and in these countries. So it's better in a democracy!!! :) To understand it better, compare both realities, but very few Russians go to see how it is in the west and in America, they only send their children to study there. In the Russian Federation, mistakes are still being made and as we all see, there are still people murdering their own, examples are the way of conducting warfare, they do not feel sorry for their own and also people who are inconvenient for the authorities must die. Mental health in state governments is, for example, America and Canada, for example. Or America and Brazil (where Brazil has huge gas reserves and America won't steal it from them). You know, you have to have a good head, Vladimir Lenin didn't have that. (H060)

While I, as a Bulgarian, agree with the video there's a things that might leave a wrong impression.

All major Bulgarian political parties, despite their fierce competition are also fiercely pro-european. The reason why Russia has such reach is due to corruption and not political sympathies. It's well said that the pro russian parties have low representation in the parliament, but even they are more interested in winning the votes of the vocal pro russian minority, rather than actually interested in Russia.

Yes, we are governed by the Democratic Party of the USA and the US Embassy. I would accept that the Republican Party of the USA governs us. There are records of American interference in the electoral process in Bulgaria. Is this corruption?

From Pro Euro Atlantic Bulgarian: We have party that is masked as Euro Atlantic but it is actually very Russian oriented that was head of the state for past 10+ years. The rest that are opposition are actually also Russia oriented but they play some kind of theatre for the people. The president now is pro russian and his government now is pro russian. Actually it is very bad time for Bulgaria right now. The people in Bulgaria were lied very successfully for the past 33 years but It seems there is some hope with the new 2 pro Euro parties that are trying to take the power. Unfortunately the whole russian propaganda and agencies are working as hard as they can to prevent this. The elections here are very manipulated which makes the whole thing pretty difficult. The main prosecutor that "can be judged only by God" from his words ... is also from the same party. Keep in mind that the bulgaria`s elite , the most educated and progressive people were cleared out 3 times during our existence. Most recently in 1944-45 . What you expect after ? Bare with the Bulgarian people ... We are trying our best to be true Euro Atlantic Allies. I`m sure at least 70% are Euro Atlantic people here :)

Why the apologetic tone? Should Ukrainians start apologising too? The Georgians? The Poles? The Lithuanians? The Estonians? The Latvians? We know what its like, and its very easy for someone that has never spent a single day in any of those countries, to come along and start lecturing us on democracy and freedom. Like democracy and freedom are nothing but a dumb fuckin lecture. Most, if not all those people that try to lecture us nowadays, are from countries that won the aforementioned values after the WWII, our fight has only begun 30 years ago,and we are NOT allowed to point guns at the enemy. So please, get rid of the apologetic tone. You are aiming towards people that would not understand anyway.

I am a Bulgarian and in my humble opinion Bulgarian interests are not NATOs interests, the Bulgarian population has no need to be dragged into anglo-american wars. There has never been any referendum for the decision to enter NATO therefore in the eyes of most Bulgarians being a NATO buffer zone is illegitimate. Sending arms and ammunition the Ukrains nazi government only prolongs the conflict and the suffering. One should point at corrupt Bulgarian politicians, mafioso and other criminals that sell Bulgarias interests to the political west.

[@youtubewatcher2]

"One should point at corrupt Bulgarian politicians, mafioso and other criminals that sell Bulgarias interests" Pretty much what the documentary is pointing at. The BS about Russia`s right to an ex-Warsaw Pact buffer (which you project as NATO) is nonsense. The modern fascists are clearly in the Kremlin. Your opinion should be humble because it is formed by silly ahistorical propaganda from an authoritarian state.

[@ParamaHasmo]

@@youtubewatcher2 it is objective, not silly and it is pretty historical. It is obvious that encroaching militarily on Russia will lead to war, one that does not serve the regional interests but rather the USA in destabilising Europe as a whole. The corrupt politicians are those that sold out Bulgaria to NATO and the US. There is no point in radical russophobia because Russia is not encroaching on EU or the USA or the UK. Yours is the false discourse, that of the children of soros that have been undermining and polluting the ex-Warsaw pact countries, sponsoring the proliferation of neonazi movements and radical libertarianism (hipster, woke, blm etc) Mainata ti bokluk!

Maybe it's a good time to hide such weapons caches underground or inside mountains in the future, far away from roads and public access with extremely high security. I'm very surprised how thin the walls are on those buildings that were housing such munitions, doesn't even look like reinforced concrete, and with regular roofs instead of having reinforced concrete, of course you could add a dummy roof thereafter to blend in..

[@jillellis62]

No. That’s the wrong way to go. You have to understand that even us in the USA have been lied to as well. Putin has not done anything. But he is blamed for it all. It’s been USA nato the entire time. THE ENTIRE TIME! We’re furious & even we have to find the truth to know it’s not russia. If you watch channel called Patrick Lancaster, you’ll see USA shelling on Ukraine civilians in eastern Ukraine. But this has been a 9 year war, not a 1 year war. And putin just came in one year ago to keep nato off of their border. Nobody is perfect, but as an American, I say with confidence it is the USA pushing the wars, the lies, stoking the fires, they want dominance and obedience and they want their NWO asap. Dc always blames putin for everything, even if lightening strikes- they blame putin. Please, open your eyes and see this. So many in USA even when to flee to Russia due to how USA is even doing their own people now. We do have a war here too, it’s just not using bombs- it’s every other way possible that they can attack us that is being done.

[@jillellis62]

there is no Russian aggression. There is USA and nato aggression. I’m in the USA and I say this with 100% certainty. If you watch channel “Patrick Lancaster”, you will see a USA navy vet who’s been in Ukraine 9 years filming the war. Putin only got involved one year ago. You will see proof that it is USA and nato weapons that target the civilians. Everyone is being lied to. Every news outlet is lying to us people and the truth must be known. If we don’t get the truth to light, the USA will continue to fund the damages done to ONLY East Ukraine. USA had an agreement to NOT spread nato East, but they’ve continued to do so. When USA nato said they were going to add Ukraine to nato, putin asked for a buffer zone to keep nato off of Russias front porch which is the right thing to have done. East Ukraine has been shelled for 9 years by Zelensky. The East Ukraine people voted to join russia by 85% in favor, because they’ve lived with the constant attack by Zelensky. Please, do not fall for the lies being told. Everyone wants to make putin out to be the bad guy, but he’s actually not. USA leadership are bullies. They make tons of money off forever wars. In the last 240 years, USA has only went 16 years with no war. This is the reality. They’ve got no mercy for anyone, including innocent kids. If they’re not stopped, you can expect this to continue. And every single place the USA has “helped” has ended up worse off than they began. Please do not fall for the lies. USA wanted this and they knew how to do it. They are the main ones pushing the great reset. And in order to build back better then everything must be torn down. You too are a target. The sooner you wake up and understand this, the better off you will be. We have to unite and stop ALL of the wars, for they serve no purpose except the military industrial complex of the USA. $120 billion to Ukraine & 1/3 of our military supplies have been sent there. Even USA is under attack in different ways by the DC leadership. It’s sad times, but more sad when people don’t know who is responsible. It IS Ukraine on behalf of the USA nato. They have zero mercy for anyone.
