Moscow: Western countries target integration of Eurasian Economic Union

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Western countries are seeking to undermine the integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union, stressing that the attempts of the United States and its allies to strengthen their military presence in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) space are unacceptable and involve great risks.

 “The illegal unilateral and unprecedented restrictive measures imposed by the West in recent months against Russia and Belarus can only affect the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union due to the deep interdependence of economies within the single market,” Director of the first department of the CIS countries of the ministry, Mikhail Evdokimov, was quoted by RIA Novosti news agency as saying.

 

Evdokimov underlined the importance of the countries of this union focusing on compensating the negative consequences of Western sanctions, thus contributing to providing the union market with necessary industrial and agricultural goods alike, considering that the import substitution policy has the greatest impact in this context.

Western countries imposed unprecedented packages of sanctions on Russia after President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24 the start of a special military operation in Ukraine to protect the population in the Donbass region who have been subjected to persecution and genocide at the hands of the regime in Kiev for eight years.
