Claim 1: “The rate is calculated on the basis of rates of Russia’s key trading partners in accordance with shares of these countries in the national foreign trade turnover.”

The claim describes the standard methodology for calculating the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER). This is confirmed by the BIS Data Portal, which states that NEERs (the basis for REER) are 'geometric trade-weighted averages of bilateral exchange rates,' and Investopedia's definition of REER.
