Claim 1: “neither Russia nor China "have ever interfered in Brazil's internal affairs or created threats to the country's security,"”
DISPUTED
While one source notes that China and Russia officially 'stress non-interference' as a principle, another source explicitly identifies the claim that 'Russia has never interfered in the affairs of other countries' as a 'pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative'. This creates a direct contradiction between the official stance of the countries and external fact-checking/analysis.
