Claim 1: “Yury Trutnev said he has numerous decent and wonderful friends in China”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results from EADaily and Izvestia mention Trutnev's comments regarding technology exchange and the Harbin Expo, the specific phrasing about having 'numerous decent and wonderful friends in China' is not explicitly corroborated across multiple independent sources in the provided evidence. Only the context of his visit to China is present.

Claim 2: “the senior Russian official told TASS”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence for this claim is completely irrelevant. The search results discuss BASF France, Yelp reviews for a restaurant in Paris, and unrelated Russian politicians (Igor Shchyogolev, Sergey Kiriyenko), but none of the evidence confirms that Yury Trutnev gave a statement to TASS.
