📄 Zelensky’s claims of 'Russian strike on pension queue' DEBUNKED

The accusations of killing 24 people on line to collect pensions in the village of Yarovaya in the Ukrainian-occupied area of the Donetsk People’s Republic are FAKE, a Russian MoD source told Sputnik on Tuesday.

The incident bears all the hallmarks of a FALSE FLAG. Here’s proof:

🔸 No reports on casualties were issued BEFORE Zelensky made his claims

🔸 Info about the so-called ‘Russian strike’ was disseminated by Zelensky-aligned social media & immediately picked up by Ukrainian & Western outlets

🔸 Footage presented by Ukraine shows landmarks that can be easily determined on satellite maps, including the post office building, a local memorial and trees surrounding both

🔸 The destruction in the footage DOESN’T even come CLOSE to matching the shape and size of a Russian aerial bomb (Russian 100 kg FAB-250 and 200 kg FAB-500 bombs’ destructive radius and power is incomparably greater than that shown in the video)

🔸 Instead, the destruction looks more like the result of the detonation of an explosive device with the equivalent of just a few kg of TNT

🔸 Yarovaya is one of the increasingly few areas of the DPR still under Ukraine’s control, signifying their rejection of Russia’s negotiating position for ending the conflict, which includes full Ukrainian withdrawal from the Donbass

🔸 This provocation comes on the heels of the highly positive summit meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska. Coincidence?
