STORY: According to Ukrainian authorities, Russia has once again launched massive fire in the east of the country. On Thursday night, 120 rockets hit the area around the city of Nikopol. Three people were said to have been killed and seven injured. Russia has been trying for weeks to gain control of the entire Donbass region. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced retaliation on Wednesday. The occupied city of Donetsk is also in the region. There, pro-Russian separatists accuse Ukraine of having caused a highly toxic ammonia leak by shelling a brewery. A grenade hit a line, fire broke out, which has meanwhile spread to 600 square meters. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense initially did not comment. Apparently there was fighting again in the area around the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine. Thanks to its air defenses, Russia thwarted Ukrainian attacks on the nuclear power plant and the nearby occupied city of Enerhodar, the Russian news agencies Tass and RIA quote the Russian administration in the region as saying. The reports could not be verified. In addition, hundreds of fighters from the Azov regiment are to be put on trial “before the end of the summer.” The head of the separatist administration of the Donetsk region promised this. “The first trial will probably take place in Mariupol and will be held before the end of the summer,” says Denis Puschilin. Media and international representatives are expected to attend the process. The Azov regiment gained international attention for its resistance to the Russian siege of the Mariupol Steelworks. After weeks of fighting in the bunkers and tunnels, the Russian troops surrendered in May.
