Anti-Russian sanctions are not beneficial to anyone, but ... , EU ambassador says

None in Europe feels comfortable by taking sanctions against Russia, the EU Ambassador to Russia, Vygaudas Usackas, said in an interview to the Russian media.

The Ambassador stressed that the European business is interested in the Russian market: "We are all interdependent economically in a global sense."

According to Usackas, a maintenance of relations with Russia is a key strategic challenge for the EU. Due to the proximity, close ties, and ‘despite the economic crisis in Russia’ , the EU is its largest trading partner."
