Claim 8: “The Uzbek leader then visited Moscow to participate in the 81st anniversary celebrations of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.”

MISLEADING

The claim mentions the '81st anniversary' of Victory Day. Victory Day (May 9) celebrates the end of WWII in 1945. The 80th anniversary is in 2025; the 81st would be in 2026. While evidence confirms Mirziyoyev visited Moscow for Victory Day events around May 8, the specific numbering '81st' is not corroborated and appears chronologically inconsistent with the 2024/2025 timeframe unless referring to 2026, but the provided evidence for the visit is linked to the May 8 meeting.
