Five Mysterious Deaths at the Ukrainian-Russian Border

Speculation runs rampant in Europe as five leading members of a construction team at the Ukrainian-Russian border were killed during the construction of a new oil pipeline, planned to run between Leipzig and Volgograd.

In early 2010 after a successful, albeit shaky, agreement, a German ILF Company was granted a contract to build the oil pipeline. Construction began soon afterwards and made significant progress until the deaths of the five members of the team on the Ukrainian side of the Ukrainian-Russian border.

Tobias Kuhn, spokesperson for the ILF German company, says, “We are at our wit’s end here at ILF. No one is sure how to respond, and we demand an explanation for the deaths and the lack of progress into Ukraine of the pipeline.”

The mysterious deaths of the five construction team members are stirring up controversy in Europe as people are striving to acquire the truth.

Five Workers Killed Working on ILF Pipeline in Ukraine

Speculation runs rampant in Europe after five gas line construction workers died in mysterious circumstances. The workers were employed by German construction company ILF, who agreed to make the pipeline in 2010.

The company had been contracted to build a oil pipeline from Europe to Russia. Most of Europe's energy needs are met by Russian gas and oil. 

The agreement between the EU and Russia was tenuous but a significant accomplishment nonetheless. Construction went well until they reached the Ukrainian border. The Associated Press reported that all of the company's paperwork was in order as they prepared to start construction in the Ukraine. 

Most key details are missing, leading to fear that the agreement may no longer be in place.
