Claim 5: “The MOEX Index with additional IMOEX2 ticker fell below 2,100 points during morning trading session on Monday for the first time since July 24, 2026”

DISPUTED

The claim states the index fell below 2,100 points on Monday. However, a TASS report for a Monday morning session explicitly states the index was at 2,231.21 points. Furthermore, the claim references a date in the future (July 24, 2026) as a past event, and other search results show the index at 3,007.57 or 2,256 in 2026, contradicting the 'below 2,100' assertion.
