Claim 3: “In Ukraine, 1.05 million square meters of warehouses has been damaged by Russian strikes”
DISPUTED
The claim states 1.05 million square meters of warehouses were damaged. However, the provided web search evidence specifically states that Russia has damaged or destroyed 'more than 500,000 square meters' of warehouse space. These figures are significantly different, creating a contradiction in the reported scale of damage.

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence confirms that warehouses in the Kyiv region (such as Fora, COMFY, and Budynok Ihrashok) were damaged, there is no specific numerical data in the provided evidence to corroborate the figure of 750,000 square meters.
