In einer Talkshow behauptete Margarita Simonjan, Chefredakteurin des russischen Staatssenders RT, die Ukraine könnte ein neues 'Butscha' vorbereiten. "Ich sagte gestern, dass eine Sache den Frieden in der Ukraine gefährden könnte, und zwar eine fabrizierte Gräueltat, die groß genug wäre, um Trump zu beeindrucken. Heute haben wir Sumy", postete sie nur wenige Stunden nach dem Angriff auf die ukrainische Stadt auf X .
Publisher’s rating: DW-Faktencheck: Falsch. Der Angriff am 13. April auf Sumy ist jedoch klar dokumentiert: Mehrere Videosaus der Stadt zeigen die Explosion von zwei Raketen, die am 13. April zwischen 10:15 Uhr und 10:20 Uhr kurz nacheinander im Zentrum einschlugen, sowie die unmittelbaren Folgen des Angriffs.
Laut russischem Verteidigungsministerium wurde in Sumy der Ort angegriffen, an dem "eine Sitzung des Kommandostabs der operativ-taktischen Gruppe Siwersk stattfand". "Bei dem Angriff auf das Ziel kamen über sechzig Angehörige der ukrainischen Streitkräfte ums Leben", so das Ministerium.
Publisher’s rating: DW-Faktencheck: Unbelegt Weder das Verteidigungsministerium Russlands noch Außenminister Lawrow liefern Belege für ihre Aussage.
