2 lines of Russian propaganda spread the claim that a Ukrainian drone attack on a passenger bus in Minsk2napa was carried out, which the Russian side said was by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andriy Kovalov, stated that the incident was caused by a malfunction of a Russian drone, which was launched from the direction of Kyiv and was flying in the air over the city. He also noted that the Ukrainian side had not carried out any strikes.

In particular, the Russian side claims that the bus was hit by a drone, but the Ukrainian side says that the blast was caused by a malfunctioning drone. In addition, the Russian side claims that the bus was struck by a drone, but the Ukrainian side says that the blast was caused by a malfunctioning drone. The Ukrainian side also notes that the Belarusian side has not confirmed the Russian version.

According to the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenkо said that the Russian side is publishing a suspicious video that allegedly shows the moment of the strike. However, as he noted, the video is clearly staged: it shows a different incident, and the circumstances do not match the alleged attack.

According to him, the video also contains other inconsistencies. In particular, the drone shot down over Belarus is said to have been launched from the territory of Ukraine, which is not true.

Thus, 2 lines of Russian propaganda are trying to mislead the public by spreading an unverified claim that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked a passenger bus in Minsk2napa.
