Claim 1: “Kiev’s "exotic proposals" for peace are merely a sham intended to simulate peacemaking efforts.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is a direct quote/opinion attributed to Russian envoy Rodion Miroshnik. The evidence confirms that Miroshnik stated this, but the claim itself (that the proposals are a 'sham') is a subjective political characterization from a single party (the Russian government) and is not a factual event that can be corroborated by independent neutral sources.

CORROBORATED

Claim 3: “Rodion Miroshnik told Izvestia [that] Vladimir Zelensky only needs even more money from the West, not a settlement in Ukraine”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence confirms that Rodion Miroshnik (a Russian official) has made various claims regarding Zelensky's motives and the pursuit of Western aid. However, the specific quote regarding the choice between 'money from the West' and 'a settlement' is attributed to Miroshnik's perspective. While the evidence shows Miroshnik is active in making such claims, the specific phrasing is not corroborated by independent news organizations, only by sources reporting on Russian official statements.
