Russia has suffered another setback in its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. This is reported by Igor Sushko on the short message service X, formerly known as Twitter.
There, Sushko writes: “A Russian military unit seems to be completely ablaze tonight (November 14, editor’s note) in the Krasnodar region. This region borders the occupied Crimea.”
Sushko also posts a video that is supposed to support his statement. It shows a large fire at night. Further details are barely recognizable. Sushko makes no statements about the exact extent and possible damage in the post.
These claims have not yet been independently verified or confirmed. Therefore, they should be viewed with caution. In war, it can be advantageous for conflict parties to deliberately spread misinformation in order to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the opponent.
