Claim 2: “Trade turnover within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) reached a record high last year, exceeding $95 bln”

INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

The claim states trade turnover exceeded $95 billion last year. However, the evidence from RT Business News explicitly states that 'Last year, we reached a record [turnover] at $84 billion' and that it 'could exceed $100 billion' this year, meaning the $95 billion figure for last year is contradicted by the reported record of $84 billion.
