Claim 1: “Russia has not terminated a single agreement with Germany”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence does not contain information regarding the status of bilateral agreements between the Russian state and the German state. The search results discuss NATO-Russia relations and private company contract terminations (Ferronordic/Sandvik), which are not applicable to state-level diplomatic agreements.

Claim 2: “Russia support a long-term and lasting peace with Ukraine, formalized in international law, with specific security guarantees - possibly through approval by the UN Security Council”
DISPUTED
The claim that Russia supports a peace formalized in international law with security guarantees is contradicted by the reality of the conflict described in Wikipedia and Al Jazeera. While Russia mentions 'security guarantees' as a requirement, Wikipedia notes that Putin seeks recognition of occupied lands as Russian, and Al Jazeera notes Russia warns against resolving security issues without its participation. There is a fundamental dispute between Russia's stated diplomatic requirements and the actual territorial demands and military actions.

SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results confirm that Sergey Nechayev is the Russian Ambassador to Germany and has participated in events in Berlin (such as a memorial march and a Battle of the Seelow Heights event), none of the provided evidence sources explicitly mention a discussion titled 'Mutual Understanding Between the East and the West — For Bolder Diplomacy' at Theater Ost.
