Claim 3: “Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping have concluded their informal meeting over tea.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific detail about the meeting being 'over tea' is reported by TASS. While other sources (The Straits Times, Wikipedia) confirm that Putin visited China in May 2024 and held talks with Xi Jinping, they do not specifically mention the 'tea' aspect of the meeting, meaning only one source provides this specific detail.
