The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the EU should prepare for the deterioration of relations with Russia. According to her, European countries should start talking to Moscow from a “position of strength”.
“Relations between the EU and Russia are on a negative spiral,” she said, urging to prepare for a further “decline”.
Von der Leyen recalled that only 5% of all European imports go to Russia, while Russia supplies the EU with “more than 37%”.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced the failure of the idea of holding a summit of Russia and the European Union.
