Claim 3: “The Bank of Russia bought yuan on the domestic market with settlements on May 20, 2026, in the amount of 1.2 bln rubles ($16.92 mln)”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim is explicitly reported by TASS. While another web search result mentions a purchase of 1.2 bln rubles, it specifies a different date (May 15, 2026) and a different dollar amount ($16.4 mln), meaning it does not corroborate the specific transaction for May 20. Only TASS provides the specific figures for May 20.
