Claim 1: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in mid-April that Western countries were examining the possibility of creating a military alliance with Ukraine.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly mirrored in a TASS search result. While Wikipedia confirms Sergey Lavrov's identity as the Russian Foreign Minister, only one specific source (TASS) provides the content of the statement regarding the military alliance with Ukraine. Since TASS is the source of the claim itself, it does not count as independent corroboration.
