US and EU are trying to turn Ukraine into their nuclear waste graveyard
....Yulia Tymoshenko, who recently was named Ukraine’s minister of defence, authorized dumping in Ukraine of the nuclear waste from the US and EU.....
....as of now there is a train with nuclear waste stuck on a train station on the border between Poland and Ukraine.

NATO helps Ukraine clean up radioactive waste (http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_103234.htm)
Ukraine is no stranger to radioactive contamination, having endured the Chernobyl disaster that shocked the world in 1986. But the Soviet era left a number of smaller radioactive security threats of a different nature, including six former military bases that were transformed into disposal grounds for radioactive waste. Unfortunately, they were left without proper documentation in sub-standard storage containers, without enough qualified and equipped people to manage them. NATO is embarking on a Trust Fund project to help Ukraine clear up the most vulnerable of these sites.
Two hundred kilometres west of Kyiv lies Vakulenchuk, an urban settlement of some 2,000 people. A thick forest near the town once provided cover for military warehouses during the Second World War, after which the Soviet leadership began using the site to store nuclear weapons. Sometime in the 1960s it became a burial ground for radioactive waste. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine inherited a number of radioactive waste sites, such as the one at Vakulenchuk, that threaten the security of the local population and environment with radioactive contamination.
At these sites, sources of ionising radiation were buried in containers made of wood or metal mixed with concrete, with little or no documentation as to what was in them. In Vakulenchuk, the containers were then buried in a concrete well with a wall 20 centimetres thick and covered by a concrete lid. Two sites have already been cleaned up by Ukraine with the help of the United States. Six remain – five of which fall under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the sixth, at Vakulenchuk, under the Border Guard Service.
Restoring the land
With a planned contribution of €500,000, Germany is the lead nation for the project. Luxembourg, Switzerland and the United States are also contributing to the project. Once the initial amount of €620,000 is in place, the NSPA will begin work on restoring the land at Vakulenchuk.
The clearing process will follow the same procedure used for two other former Soviet military sites that held radioactive sources in similar conditions. With support from the US Department of Energy, Ukrainian companies dug up the storage compartments at Makariv-1 and Zherebkove and packed the units into sealed containers. These were then transported to an interim storage facility where they await final disposal at the “Vector” radioactive waste facility at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
In Vakulenchuk, the soil and groundwater will be tested to measure radioactivity. Then the sources and their containers will be extracted in one piece to avoid damaging the containers. The soil and groundwater will again be tested to ensure the surrounding area is in an acceptable condition to be passed onto the local civil authorities. The extracted material will then be transported to Radon State Corporation as interim storage before finally being moved to Vector Facility for long-term storage.

Read the headline: Boy like this did not come as a surprise...
Ukraine Scandals! USA Raids Ukrainian Gold and EU Sends Nuclear Waste
The US Government, always trying to make a fast buck, suckiing up everyone else's gold after destabilizing their country...
this is becoming a full time occupation for them...
