Claim 2: “they turn to terrorism, that is why they resort to information warfare”
DISPUTED
The claim asserts that opponents of Russia are using terrorism and information warfare. The evidence shows a conflict of narratives: one source discusses Russia's use of automated agents for digital warfare/propaganda, while another mentions 'information weapons' generally. There is no authoritative evidence provided that confirms the 'opponents' are resorting to terrorism; rather, the evidence suggests information warfare is being utilized by multiple sides, including Russia.

Claim 3: “Even with the mobilization of the economies and military capabilities of dozens of countries, they are not able to defeat Russia on the battlefield”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence does not contain data regarding the combined economic/military capabilities of 'dozens of countries' nor does it provide a definitive assessment of whether Russia has been 'defeated' or not on the battlefield. One source discusses a 'Stinger Moment' and drone warfare, but this does not corroborate the specific claim regarding the failure of international mobilization to defeat Russia.
