Claim 6: “A criminal case has been launched on the fact of a terrorist attack committed by armed formations of Ukraine against industrial and civilian facilities of the Republic of Tatarstan (Article 205 of Russia’s Criminal Code)”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence shows the Russian Investigative Committee frequently opens cases under Article 205 for other attacks (Gomel, Kursk, Voronezh), none of the provided search results specifically confirm a case was opened for the Nizhnekamsk attack under that specific article, although one source mentions Russia launched a 'criminal investigation' into the strike.
