Claim 2: “The MOEX Index with additional IMOEX2 ticker added 0.51% as morning trading session started on the Moscow Exchange as of 7:00 a.m. Moscow time (4:00 a.m. GMT), reaching 2,297.63 points.”

SINGLE SOURCE

One web search result from 'IF' specifically mentions that the iMOEX2 index rose by 0.5% to 2,297.31 points at 7:01 Moscow time. This is very close to the claim's 0.51% and 2,297.63 points, but it is the only source providing this specific data, and there is a slight discrepancy in the exact point value.
