The structural changes in the global markets have left a serious impact, which certainly effected the Russian economy. That negative structure have also hit the economies of our partners. Moreover, that influence was left directly, not through us [EAEU],” Putin announced, Panorama.am reports.
Russian President has also talked about the advantages and the opportunities that have emerged due to the economic integration. According to Putin, Russia runs a highly balanced economic policy.
