Claim 4: “The MOEX Russia Index lost 1.41% as of the close of business to 2,620.82 points”

DISPUTED

One web search result explicitly mentions the MOEX Russia Index lost 1.27% at the close of trade, which contradicts the claim's figure of 1.41% and the specific closing point of 2,620.82. Other sources provide general index descriptions or different numerical values (e.g., 2658.21), but do not confirm the specific claim.
