... some pain on both sides, but it’s slowly getting better. What prospects do you see for our economic ties, maybe in the energy sphere as well, given the circumstances we are living in?

This is symptomatic of a wider problem facing Russia, namely that it cannot replace Europe with non-Western partnerships. China serves here as a perfect example, despite Russian claims that bilateral trade with China would hit $100bn in 2015, the figure actually fell by 27.8% to $64.2bn , largely due to the impact of sanctions and falling oil prices. Relatively modest trade ...

As the report outlines USA's global share is anticipated to fall from 19% to 14% by 2040, in contrast to China's rise from 14% to a huge 24%.
