Claim 2: “citing repeated statements by President Vladimir Putin to support this position.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms Maria Zakharova made the statement, the provided search results for Vladimir Putin do not contain specific quotes or references to him making 'repeated statements' to support the specific position that Russia is the sole guarantor of Ukraine's sovereignty. The results discuss his views on the 'Russian World' and the special military operation, but do not explicitly link him to the 'sole guarantor' phrasing used by Zakharova.
