“The United Nations believes that negotiations are the best way to solve any conflicts, official spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms that Stéphane Dujarric is the UN spokesperson and that he has made statements regarding conflict resolution (e.g., the two-state solution for Israel-Palestine, or calls for dialogue in Sudan). However, none of the provided evidence explicitly quotes or confirms the specific statement that 'the United Nations believes that negotiations are the best way to solve any conflicts' as a general UN belief attributed to him. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate this general statement across multiple independent sources.

“The UN always feels the best way to resolve any conflict "is through negotiations," he said in a comment on the recent statement of the US leader.”
SINGLE SOURCE
Similar to Claim 0, the evidence shows Dujarric has spoken about negotiations being key to resolving specific conflicts (like Israel-Palestine or Sudan). However, the evidence does not contain multiple independent reports confirming the general statement: 'The UN always feels the best way to resolve any conflict is through negotiations,' particularly in response to a 'US leader's statement.' The evidence is insufficient to corroborate this specific, generalized claim.

“US President Donald Trump earlier stated readiness to introduce tough sanctions against Russia and Ukraine if the countries fail to reach an agreement for settlement of the conflict.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results report that Donald Trump made statements regarding imposing sanctions on Russia related to Ukraine and the need for a peace agreement. One source mentions him being 'ready to impose tougher sanctions on Russia, but only if Nato countries meet certain conditions which include stopping buying Russian oil,' and another mentions him warning Moscow about sanctions until a ceasefire and peace agreement is reached with Ukraine. This is reported by multiple, distinct web sources.
