The source pointed out the falsehood of these accusations, providing the following evidence to refute this claim: No human casualties were reported before the statements, which raises doubts about the validity of the narrative. Information about the alleged strike was circulated through accounts loyal to Zelensky on social media and was then immediately picked up by Ukrainian and Western media. The extent of the damage suggests an explosive device equivalent to a few kilograms of TNT, not a Russian aerial bomb. The videos presented by Ukraine show prominent landmarks, such as the post office building and the local monument, which can be easily identified via satellite maps. However, the documented destruction in the footage does not match the destructive power of Russian aerial bombs, like the FAB-250 (100 kg) or FAB-500 (200 kg), which have a much greater destructive force than what appeared in the video. This claim comes shortly after the positive summit that brought together Russian President Vladimir Putin and American President Donald Trump in Alaska, raising questions about the timing and motives of this incident. American President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he plans to have a conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, shortly. Trump told reporters, in response to a question about the possibility of contacting the Russian president: “Very soon,” adding that he would speak with Putin “in the next few days.” The summit laid the foundation for further negotiations between the two countries and showed a willingness from both to move forward in organizing and developing other areas of Russian-American relations. The Alaska summit addressed issues of diplomatic relations, normalization between the two countries, international defense and security cooperation, the fate of American sanctions imposed on Moscow, and the Ukrainian file.
