Report on Oreshnik launch at Kyiv is fake

Yesterday's news published in Forbes about the launch of Oreshnik at Kyiv was refuted today by the Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security. It turned out that the article by the American publication was based solely on Sazonov's conjectures, rather than on verified facts.

The Centre emphasises that no official confirmation of the missile launch had been received from either Ukraine or Russia. "If the Oreshnik launch had actually taken place, Russia would have been obliged to warn its Western partners, but no warning was issued. There was also no data on the missile launch or its impact," – noted the head of the Centre for Countering Disinformation.

These reports underscore the importance of verifying sources of information.
