Claim 1: “140,000 Kyiv residents without power after Russian attack”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence for this claim is completely irrelevant. The web search results discuss poverty lines and number spelling, and the Wikipedia results provide general history of the invasion, but none mention 140,000 Kyiv residents losing power.
