Russia's manufacturing sector grows nearly 23% over 3 years — PM Mishustin
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told the Innoprom exhibition in Yekaterinburg that Russia's manufacturing sector grew by nearly 23% over three years, attributing the expansion to workers despite pressure from unfriendly states. He also reported machine-building growth of nearly 8% in early 2025 and projected a further 1% increase in manufacturing by year-end.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on July 6 that the country's manufacturing sector has grown by nearly 23% over the past three years, describing the expansion as unique given what he called opposition from unfriendly states. He spoke at a plenary session of the Innoprom international industrial exhibition in Yekaterinburg.
Coverage comparison
Two reports from TASS — English covered Mishustin's remarks, both filed from Yekaterinburg on July 6. The first focused on the three-year cumulative figure and the prime minister's framing of the achievement as a response to external pressure. The second centered on more recent data, including machine-building output and a year-end projection, with Mishustin acknowledging that the macroeconomic situation has slowed the pace of growth. Both reports quoted Mishustin directly and noted that the 16th Innoprom exhibition runs from July 6 to 9, with Indonesia as the partner country.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
