report
Claim 1: “Lukashenko arrived at the Victory Monument in the Belarusian capital to lay wreaths and flowers on Saturday evening.”
MISLEADING
While evidence confirms Lukashenko lays wreaths at the Victory Monument in Minsk as an annual tradition, one specific source notes he did so on Independence Day (July 3), not necessarily 'Saturday evening' of Victory Day. The claim presents a general tradition as a specific event, and the provided evidence does not explicitly confirm the 'Saturday evening' timing for the Victory Day event specifically, though it confirms the act of laying wreaths generally.
