Where the versions diverge

Ukrainian and independent sources report civilians killed (a teenager and four people in an office building); the Russian items in the collected set do not mention this: RIA limits itself to reporting explosions, the Russian Defense Ministry to a list of "targets hit". The number of injured grows through the day in different items (from 7 to 20 in one building and 59 in the city).

What Russia reports

automatic summary The collected material contains no reports of civilian deaths in Kyiv on 25 September. RIA reports explosions in Kyiv citing a Ukrainian TV channel; the Russian Defense Ministry that day reported strikes on Datagroup (a data center) and a logistics center near Kyiv.

What Ukraine reports

Confirmation

Confirmation: the sides contradict each other

The groups of sources give incompatible information (the model, reading the texts, flagged incompatible statements of fact; differing figures are shown in the card). The site does not decide who is right.

Articles: 9, sources: 6, groups: 3. Automatic assessment from formal features (coverage, number of sources, conflicting figures, quote and relevance checks) — not an assessment of truth. How this is computed

Automatic summary, may contain errors. Short summaries are written by a language model with no human review; titles, summaries and the “Where the versions diverge” block in English are an automatic translation of the Russian originals. Quotes are verbatim (checked by code), in their original language, with a link. The “Where the versions diverge” block only records differences in wording and figures and does not say who is right. Publication times are shown in Europe/Berlin time. Report an error in this card
