The Azov Battalion of the Ukrainian army has released the latest images of the Azovstal factory in the city of Mariupol, where Russia continues its attacks. Stating that it is extremely difficult to gather information from the region, UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters, “It is very difficult for us to give an exact figure. Of course, we have to work in partnership with the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross), with the highest levels of both Ukraine and Russia. “We continue to work to get more people out of the Mariupol region and Ukraine,” he said.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk, who is responsible for the evacuations, said in a statement yesterday that 344 people were evacuated from Mariupol after a long hiatus. “They were evacuated from the cities of Vasilywvka and brought to Zaporizhia. This is also a small victory. Thanks to the staff of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, those who took part in the humanitarian corridor, the drivers and the employees of the Emergency Service. The Mariupol humanitarian operation continues,” she said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
