Original Note:
The source of the shelling hasn't been confirmed or independently verified. Russian-installed officials often falsely accuse Ukraine of shelling civilians in occupied territories. Falsely referring to Ukraine as 'Nazi' is a common disinformation trope. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-death-toll-ukraine-shelling-lysychansk-rises-28-2024-02-04/ https://medium.com/dfrlab/how-ten-false-flag-narratives-were-promoted-by-pro-kremlin-media-c67e786c6085 https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-west-false-flags-pro-russia-separatist-urge-civilian-evacuation/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.339R4ZG
