Among the Ukrainians repatriated in a “1,000-for-1,000” prisoner exchange were former convicts already awaiting deportation in immigration detention centres; not a single fighter from the Azov Brigade was included. Mediazona has spoken with participants, relatives of prisoners of war, and lawyers defending Ukrainians in Russian courts about this and other aspects of the largest prisoner swap since the full-scale invasion began.

In truth, it was a difficult and risky, but brilliantly executed operation by the pilots of the UAV unit of the 63rd Brigade 👏

Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,"

Ran into a bunch of pro russian posts and bots. Gave them so much hell they had to run to reddit admins so now I have a three day ban. Apparently saying "good luck with that 21% interest rate and linking to the song 'speed the collapse" is hate speech.

The Azot chemical plant in Tula Oblast completely halted operations on the day of the drone attack, May 24. A nitric acid leak occurred, and two tanks were damaged.

ASTRA investigated the aftermath of the drone strike on JSC Azot in Novomoskovsk, Tula Oblast, on the morning of May 24. Drones struck the facility, igniting a low-pressure natural gas pipeline in Workshop 4. Two 750-ton tanks of nitric acid were damaged. One of them leaked acid onto the ground. The plant completely suspended operations on the day of the attack. It is currently unknown whether operations have resumed.

The governor of Tula Oblast had previously reported that tanks containing acid were damaged in the drone strike. ASTRA’s analysis of the Azot plant layout confirmed reports from local residents that hits occurred in the “Ammonia-2,” “Urea-2,” and “Workshop 5A” sections. Nevertheless, Governor Dmitry Milyaev claimed there were no recorded exceedances of harmful substances in the air. Three plant workers were injured.

According to the company's website, “Novomoskovsk Joint-Stock Company Azot” is the largest domestic producer of ammonia and nitrogen fertilizers and one of the industry leaders in both types and volume of production. The plant produces mineral fertilizers, ammonia, organic plastics and resins, chlorine, caustic soda, calcium chloride, concentrated and high-purity nitric acid, argon, and methanol. Since 2002, JSC Azot has been part of the EuroChem holding.

ASTRA previously reported that on April 5, one ton of nitric acid was spilled during a drone strike on the Promsintez explosive materials plant in Chapayevsk, Samara Oblast. Local authorities concealed the incident.

Public sources confirm that nitric acid is actively used in the production of explosives — it is a key component in explosive chemistry. Even diluted nitric acid is hazardous to humans and the environment — it corrodes tissues, its vapors are toxic, and soil at the spill site is scorched, killing plants and microorganisms.

The U.S., U.K., France, and Germany have lifted range restrictions on weapons for Ukraine

This was announced by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

“There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine — not from the United Kingdom, not from France, not from us. And not from the Americans either,” he said.

This means that Ukraine can defend itself, he noted, “for example, by striking military positions in Russia.”

Kremlin-aligned war correspondent Kots claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may soon receive the long-range air-to-surface cruise missile Taurus, capable of hitting targets up to 500 kilometers away.

“A fighter armed with a Taurus could reach, for instance, Tula or Kaluga from Kharkiv Oblast. A serious threat that will require a response,” he wrote.

Germany has not officially confirmed deliveries of this weapon to Ukraine.

In Leningrad Oblast, a warehouse storing supplies for soldiers and humanitarian aid for residents of Kursk Oblast was set on fire

Late on May 24, in the town of Podporozhye, Leningrad Oblast, an unknown individual set fire to a volunteer headquarters. The facility stored supplies for the combat zone and children’s clothing intended for Kursk Oblast. According to staff, nearly all the property was destroyed by the fire — only soot-covered walls and, as noted by the head of the headquarters Tatyana Dogadina in a social media post, surviving icons remained.

She stated that someone “intentionally set fire specifically to the warehouse” to disrupt a shipment scheduled for May 29.

Official Russian Interior Ministry representative Irina Volk reported that a 40-year-old local resident was detained on suspicion of arson. A criminal case has been opened, and investigators are considering pretrial measures.
