Claim 4: “He took part in the meeting via video conference.”

DISPUTED

There is conflicting evidence regarding the format of the meeting. While some search results mention Putin chairing videoconference meetings of the State Council Presidium (e.g., on education), a specific TASS photo caption explicitly states he 'attends a meeting of the State Council Presidium on public transport development, at Banzarov Buryat State University', implying physical presence at a specific location rather than a video conference for this specific topic.
