Claim 2: “Russian Presidential Aide and Chairman of the Maritime Board Nikolay Patrushev said during talks in Brasilia”
DISPUTED
While the evidence confirms Nikolay Patrushev is a Russian presidential aide and Chairman of the Maritime Board, the location of the talks is contradicted. One web search result explicitly states Patrushev held maritime talks in Algeria, not Brasilia. No evidence provided confirms a visit to Brasilia, while evidence confirms a visit to Algeria for similar purposes.
