Allegations have circulated regarding an alleged incident on June 23, 2026, involving a bus reportedly carrying children. A former leader of the Stabilitāte! party, Aleksejs Rosļikovs, who is currently located in Belarus, has repeated claims suggesting that Ukraine utilized a drone to strike the vehicle.
Rosļikovs stated in a video that the Ukrainian military targeted the children of the Republic of Belarus, asserting that a drone was fired at a bus. These allegations mirror reports issued by Russia on June 17, 2026, which claimed that a drone launched by Ukraine had caused the explosion of a bus transporting Belarusian children en route to a facility within Russia. According to Belarusian authorities at that time, the incident resulted in eight reported injuries.
In response to these claims, Ukraine has formally denied any involvement in such an attack. However, the information presented remains disputed, as independent verification of the conflicting statements made by Russian sources and Ukrainian officials has proven impossible. The controversy centers on the conflicting narratives surrounding the safety of the children and the alleged military action.
While Rosļikovs continues to voice the claim of a Ukrainian drone strike, official reports indicate no verifiable evidence substantiating the incident. The dispute highlights the difficulty in confirming details regarding military actions and civilian casualties when sources remain contradictory and inaccessible to impartial review.
