Claim 1: “In 2025, trade turnover reached almost $240 bln”
VERIFIED
The claim is supported by three distinct sources: Wikipedia (stating $234 billion), a Kremlin statement via Ushakov (stating 'almost $240 billion'), and a report on economic deepening (stating it 'surpassed $240 billion'). The consistency across an authoritative reference (Wikipedia) and official government statements verifies the figure.
