After Russian airstrike, it observes an Ammonia leak in eastern Ukraine.
According to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, a Russian shell struck a chemical facility near Sumy just after 3 a.m. on Monday, creating a leak in a 50-tonne ammonia tank that took hours to stop.
According to officials, an ammonia leak at a chemical facility in Sumy contaminated a radius of more than 5 kilometers (3 miles).
According to Russian military spokesman Igor Konashenkov, the leak was a ‘calculated provocation’ by Ukrainian forces to accuse Russia of a chemical strike falsely.
