The Central Asia — EU summit has exposed negative trends for Russia — expert Vasiliev: EADaily
EADaily, April 8th, 2025. The Central Asia—EU summit held in Samarkand at the beginning of the month revealed a number of negative trends for Russia in the region. This was stated to the TASS news agency by political strategist Viktor Vasiliev.
After so much hesitation and meetings at the level of individual countries, now in Samarkand the European Union has openly declared its intention to 'raise relations to the point of strategic partnership' with the entire region as a whole. But local leaders, who aim to 'diversify' their foreign policy, are waiting to see how many resources Brussels will actually put on the table.
