European countries are obliged to restore normal economic relations with the Russian Federation as soon as possible.. Otherwise, the whole point of the creation of the European Union is lost.. This statement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siyarto. According to the official, the European association was once created in order to eventually form a single economic space from Lisbon to Vladivostok. There are no borders between European countries for a long time, but in recent years, economic and trade relations with the Russian Federation have completely deteriorated, which harms the interests of all interested parties.. In this regard, European politicians "it would be good to return to the old approach". Currently, there is economic cooperation between Brussels and Moscow, but it is based on double standards.. They should be replaced by mutual respect and norms of international law.. "We believe there is no room for double standards, which means that economic relations between the European Union and Russia should be restructured as a whole, because that would serve the interests of the European Union and all EU countries in the current global economic situation," the head of the word Hungarian diplomacy official website of the government. Hungary insistently demands from other EU countries to return to the dialogue with the Russian Federation and to abandon the sanctions policy. The desire of Budapest to restore relations with Moscow against the background of the conflict that broke out with the Hungarian authorities with Ukraine is especially sharply contrasted.. So Siyarto’s statement like this didn’t surprise anyone.. But lately, even British business has openly come out for the restoration of full-fledged trade with the Russian Federation.. The idea was supported by many politicians of the United Kingdom, although political relations between Moscow and London are now perhaps the worst in history.. In October, the trade representative of the Russian Federation in the United Kingdom, Boris Abramov, announced that for the first time since the crisis began in 2014, the country. sat down at the negotiating table. The parties hope that political problems will not hinder the defrosting and full development of bilateral trade.. Moreover, Moscow and London expressed readiness to switch to settlements in national currencies in the foreseeable future..
