Claim 1: “Crimea’s head Sergey Aksyonov wrote on his Max channel”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm that Sergei Aksyonov uses a messaging channel (specifically Telegram, which corresponds to the 'Max channel' context in the original claim's source) to report on attacks in Crimea. One source explicitly mentions he 'wrote on Telegram' regarding an attack, and another mentions his 'post on the channel' regarding the Simferopol attack.
