Russians caused an ammonia leak in Kharkiv region

The enemy shelled the ammonia pipeline in the Kupyansk district again around 5.45pm yesterday. Only six arrivals were recorded in the area of the pumping station near the village of Masyutia. Masyutovka. As of now, the results of measurements show that there is no ammonia in the air in Kupyansk district settlements.

This was reported by Head of the Kharkiv OVA Oleh Sinehubov.

He added that there is currently no danger. As the ammonia pipeline has not functioned since 24 February 2022, the primary concern is the leakage of ammonia residue.

We would like to add that today the Russians launched a fake about a toxic ammonia cloud over Kharkiv region.

The Russians, after repeated shelling of an ammonia pipeline in Kharkiv Region, have circulated a video with a chemical cloud in their media.

The Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security reports this.

"Scary" fragment with a poisonous cloud for 23 seconds was leaked online by Russian propagandists to show the consequences of the ammonia leak after the shelling of the Tolyatti-Odessa pipeline. This material was picked up by Z-Volkor channels," the report said.

In fact, as a result of the terrorist shelling, an ammonia pipeline was depressurized in the Kupyansk district.

However, during a briefing on June 6, the head of the Kharkiv regional administration, Oleg Sinegubov, said that 134 tonnes of ammonia had leaked from the pipeline in the Kupyansk district, which was damaged by the Russian Federation on June 5.

Back pressure safety valves tripped. They stopped the rupture and the ammonia leak at a stretch of 2.3km. Optimistic for us about the development of the situation. According to our calculations, there was a leak of 134 tonnes of ammonia," said Sinegubov.
