The European Union (EU) and Russia remain closely interdependent despite strained relations since 2014. Russia and the EU share longstanding historical, cultural and economic ties and the EU continues to engage Russia in selected areas of EU interest. The EU is Russia’s first trading partner and Russia is the EU’s fifth trading partner. In 2019, EU imports from Russia reached €144 billion and EU exports to Russia €88 billion.
