Claim 4: “Russia’s grain harvest since the beginning of 2026 will reach 100 mln metric tons in the next few days”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence does not contain any information regarding a 100 million metric ton grain harvest target for 2026. One web result mentions global wheat production for 2023-24, and others discuss unrelated 2026 events (heating rules, music), but none confirm the specific harvest figure.
