Worst Friends, Best Enemies: Trade Between the EU and Russia

Andrey Movchan

Trade relations between the EU and Russia will likely remain stable for many years, even as the overall volume of bilateral trade gradually contracts. The EU will grow less dependent on Russia for energy security, while Russia will become less reliant on European finance, industry, and infrastructure. Though the EU and Russia have vacillated between political cooperation and confrontation over the last twenty-five years, economic relations between Europe’s two leading players have remained pragmatic and relatively stable. http://carnegie.ru/commentary/?fa=63844&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRJMk1EVmlaVGxoTXpGbSIsInQiOiJyUXZodFVoSjJzSStYSndxa0ZsekdDMUJ1QkxQeTc3UnhDMmZxN2RJZ3c0UnhWZ3NrWlpuYjNOZFByQkpXQWZvN2VpOW02UmdcL3F3TTFwcjRJWDdvWGlBcnVKXC9oZlwvalp3b0hcL2JBTDhvOFk9In0%3D
