CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm the existence of a Kyodo report regarding Tokyo's plans to send an economic delegation to Russia. Specifically, the TASS report mentions Muneo Suzuki commenting on a 'Kyodo report about Tokyo’s plans to send an economic delegation', and other results confirm the Kyodo report itself.

Claim 4: “The Japanese government plans to send an economic mission to Russia on May 26-27”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions the Japanese government wanting to send an economic delegation in May to discuss oil, the specific dates 'May 26-27' are not corroborated by other sources. Another search result mentions May 26-27 in the context of the 1905 Battle of Tsushima, suggesting a potential confusion in the search results or a very specific detail not found in the other reports.
