The Russian army denies this bombing and attributes it to an act of “propaganda” by the Ukrainian government. The spokesman for the Russian army, Igor Konachenkov, assured that “no Russian military is in Chernigov (…) and no offensive has been launched.”

“Either all those killed are victims of the terror of Ukrainian nationalists, or it is a new machination of the Ukrainian security services,” Konachenkov said.
