Claim 1: “Russia would like the next UN secretary-general to be more involved in resolving conflicts”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence does not contain any statement from Russia expressing a desire for the next UN Secretary-General to be more involved in conflict resolution. One search result mentions a professor's view on the current SG's weakness as a negotiator, and another mentions a Russian official criticizing the current SG's neutrality, but neither confirms the specific claim about the 'next' Secretary-General's desired role.

Claim 2: “It was like with Kofi Annan, who was bold enough to go to a crisis without being assured that he would be able to resolve it”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided includes a Wikipedia biography of Kofi Annan confirming he was the UN Secretary-General and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, but none of the provided evidence sources corroborate the specific claim that he 'went to a crisis without being assured that he would be able to resolve it.' This appears to be a specific quote or characterization from the original article that is not mirrored in the gathered evidence.
