The Russian Foreign Ministry announced an even greater degradation of relations with the EU

“As regards relations with the EU as a whole, unfortunately, over the last month we have stated further degradation,” RIA Novosti quotes a diplomat.

According to him, new sanctions mechanisms are being created in Brussels, and contacts at the expert level bring very few results.

Responding to a question about the prospects for Russian relations with the EU, Kelin noted that he would not begin to run ahead.

The plenary session of the European Parliament on Tuesday, July 15, will vote on the appointment of Ursula von der Lyayen as head of the new EC.

Previously, she said she would resign from the post of Minister of Defense of Germany.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called her decision a strong signal.
