Claim 2: “All key economic indicators of the EAEU, including GDP, grew in the first half of 2026”
SINGLE SOURCE
Only one specific web search result from the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) mentions that industrial production across the EAEU increased by 0.7% in the first six months of 2026. While this supports the growth claim, there is no second independent source to corroborate the growth of 'all key economic indicators' including GDP for that specific period.
