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.
