Claim 4: “Our embassy in Washington maintains close contacts”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence. While the claim asserts 'close contacts', a web search result ('Lonely Anatoly') explicitly states that the Russian embassy maintains only 'technical' or 'lower-level' contacts with the administration.
