Claim 1: “The West is considering creating aggressive military blocs, including with the participation of Australia, head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin said in an interview with TASS.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly supported by a TASS report. However, TASS is a state-owned Russian news agency, and no other independent news organizations or authoritative references (like Wikipedia) corroborate that this statement was made or that such blocs are being considered. Since only one source organization (TASS) is reporting this specific claim, it is classified as single_source.
