Claim 2: “As of August 10, 2026, year-on-year inflation in Russia stood at 6.06%”
DISPUTED
The claim states year-on-year inflation was 6.06% as of August 10, 2026. However, other evidence for August 2026 provides conflicting figures: one source mentions 6.08% (Aug 18-24) and another mentions 6.21% (as of Aug 31). Additionally, a report from July 10, 2026, mentions a headline rate of 5.3% in May. There is no specific source confirming exactly 6.06% for August 10.
