Claim 1: “The European Commission raised its forecast for Russia’s GDP growth in 2026 from 1.1% to 1.3%, according to the EC’s spring economic forecast.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is explicitly stated in one web search result ('European Commission raises Russia’s 2026 GDP growth forecast...'). While another source mentions a 1.1% IMF forecast for 2026, it does not contradict the EC's specific forecast change. No other independent sources corroborate the specific shift from 1.1% to 1.3%.
