Claim 1: “Moscow 'regularly provides the UN Secretariat with documents recording the Kiev regime’s crimes against the civilian population'”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the provided evidence confirms that Russia and Ukraine both accuse each other of war crimes and that the UN is involved in monitoring the conflict, there is no specific evidence in the provided search results confirming the specific claim that Moscow 'regularly provides the UN Secretariat with documents' of this nature. The evidence provided for this claim focuses on general war crimes and international reactions rather than the specific administrative act of submitting documents to the Secretariat.
