Claim 1: “On the American leader's last birthday, Putin congratulated him during a telephone conversation, in which they discussed bilateral relations, as well as current international issues.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence provides records of a phone call between Putin and Trump on February 12, 2025, and a summit in August 2025, there is no specific evidence in the provided text confirming that a birthday congratulation occurred on the 'last birthday' or that bilateral relations and international issues were discussed specifically in the context of a birthday call.

Claim 2: “Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS that he did not yet know whether Russian leader Vladimir Putin would personally congratulate his American counterpart Donald Trump on his 80th birthday on June 14.”
DISPUTED
The claim states that Dmitry Peskov 'did not yet know' if Putin would congratulate Trump on his 80th birthday on June 14. However, the provided web search evidence explicitly confirms that the event already happened: 'Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call with US President Donald Trump on Sunday [June 14, 2026]... during which he congratulated him on his 80th'. This directly contradicts the claim that the action was uncertain or pending.
