Claim 1: “Bilateral trade between Russia and Malaysia grew by 13% in 2025 to over $3.6 bln”
DISPUTED
The claim states bilateral trade grew by 13% to over $3.6 bln in 2025. However, evidence from a Bernama report (via web search) indicates that trade grew by 15.6% to RM14.22 billion (approx $3.07 billion) in 2023. There is no evidence supporting a $3.6 billion figure for 2025; in fact, the provided evidence for 2025 mentions Russia-China trade and Indonesia-Russia trade, but not Malaysia-Russia trade for that specific year/amount.
