Claim 1: “Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said Russia strongly condemns Israel's aggressive actions against Lebanon and demands the immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese lands”
CORROBORATED
The claim is supported by multiple sources. Web search results confirm that Russia's Ambassador (Vasily Nebenzya) condemned Israel's actions in Lebanon and Gaza. While one source mentions a demand for withdrawal from Syria, another specifically links the condemnation to actions in Lebanon, and Wikipedia confirms Nebenzya's role as the Permanent Representative to the UN.
