“even the Ukrainian army’s General Staff confirmed the attack [on Starobelsk]”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence mentions a 'targeted strike' on Starobelsk and that Russia requested a UNSC meeting regarding it, but the provided text does not explicitly show a confirmation from the Ukrainian General Staff. The TASS report mentions the attack, but TASS is a single source in this context and the claim specifically mentions the Ukrainian General Staff's confirmation, which is not explicitly present in the snippets.
