 | | Kuchma said after meeting with officials of the plant, located in Pavlohrad, just outside of Dnipropetrovsk. |
 | | Kuchma explained that the move came as a result of the defense minister's failure to take control of massive weapons storage problems in the country, including poor administration of the reprocessing of solid rocket fuel from Ukraine's now defunct nuclear arsenal. |
 | | He noted that the issues surrounding the Pavlohrad plant were part of a larger problem of ammunition disposal in the country, which included the explosions that rocked the city of Melitopil on May 6 when an ammunition depot exploded, resulting in the death of five people and injury to four others. |
