Claim 3: “Six people have been injured at a market in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence provided does not support a market injury in Kyiv. One source mentions 5 injuries in a different region (reported by Governor Oleksandr Hanzha), and another reports six people injured near a supermarket in Zhytomyr, not Kyiv. There is no evidence of six people injured at a market in the capital.
