The Kremlin’s buzzword now is Russia looking East Updated: Updated: The Greater Europe concept has gone, with the emphasis on Russia’s sovereignty and independence Share Article The Greater Europe concept has gone, with the emphasis on Russia’s sovereignty and independence Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared last month that although the European Union (EU) was Russia’s biggest trading and investment partner, Moscow was “ready to break ties” with the EU after criticism of the jailing of Opposition figure Alexei Navalny. He added that Russia worked with the EU in only a few areas, dealings with the EU were “sporadic” and related mainly to energy and foreign policy issues such as Syria and Iran. The Kremlin later mitigated the Minister’s comments, denying that severance of diplomatic contacts was imminent, though such steps might be considered in response to EU sanctions affecting sensitive areas of the economy.
