Cutting Russia ties has cost EU 1 trillion Moscow
The blocs economy is weakening due to reduced cooperation with Russia, Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko has said The EU's decision to reduce energy and trade cooperation with Moscow over the Ukraine conflict has cost the bloc more than €1 trillion ($1.15 trillion), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko has said. In an interview with Izvestia on Monday, Grushko said the figure is based on various expert estimates of the economic consequences of the EU's decision to impose unprecedented sanctions on Russia, adding that it accounts for lost profits from energy and trade cooperation. According to Grushko, trade between the EU and Russia dropped from €417 billion ($482 billion) in 2013 to €60 billion ($69 billion) in 2023 and is now "approaching zero." He added that Europe's economy has subsequently taken a hit and is losing competitiveness. "Natural gas in Europe is four to five times more expensive than in the US, and electricity is two to three times higher," he said. "That is the price Europe has to pay for ending all economic contacts with Russia." In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that refusing Russian gas supplies had cost EU countries around €200 billion ($231 billion). In late 2024, Russian officials also estimated that total EU losses tied to sanctions against Russia had reached $1.5 trillion. Meanwhile, Moscow has said it has acquired a "certain immunity" to Western sanctions. Grushko's comments come after the EU agreed a trade deal with the US, which commits the bloc to purchasing large volumes of American energy - which Moscow says will come at a much steeper cost than that provided by Russia - and imposes 15% tariffs on key EU exports. Numerous EU politicians have described the agreement as lopsided and damaging to the bloc's interests. Commenting on the US-EU deal, Putin claimed that the EU had essentially lost its political sovereignty, and that this directly leads to losing economic independence. The EU began imposing sanctions on Russia in 2014, following the start of the Ukraine crisis, and expanded them drastically in 2022. Measures have targeted banking, energy exports, and other industries. Moscow considers the sanctions illegal, saying they violate international trade rules and harm global economic stability.

EU lost 1 trillion by cutting Russia ties Moscow
The blocs economy is weakening due to reduced cooperation with Russia, Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko has said The EU has suffered losses exceeding €1 trillion ($1.15 trillion) since drastically reducing energy and trade cooperation with Moscow over the Ukraine conflict, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko has said.

Kelly McParland: Bowing to Trump would betray Canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney's post-midnight response to Washington's latest escalation of its tariff war was calm, measured, sensible and appropriate, everything the current regime in Washington is not. Article content Canada, Carney said, will continue to negotiate in search of a reasonable agreement, notwithstanding the absence of any indication the U.S. is open to reasonable negotiations. What Washington wants is to continue operating what amounts to a global extortion racket, threatening all America's best customers with dire consequences if they refuse to bow to its demands and offer up supplication to whatever notion occurs to President Donald Trump at any given moment. Article content Article content Article content It's well and good that Ottawa should keep up the attempt, even if the odds seem set against success. There's no use pretending this is a situation that can be handled in the traditional manner of friends and trading partners: a search for a fair-minded and equitable agreement that serves the interests of both parties. But we should keep trying, if only to demonstrate that the qualities of civility haven't broken down altogether, despite the U.S. administration's every apparent effort to ignore them. Article content Article content From the Trump administration's point of view, extortion has been working marvelously well to date. Japan has reportedly agreed to more than a half-trillion dollars in investments and loans in return for lowered tariffs. South Korea, according to Trump, will 'give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself.' The European Union accepted a pact to buy US$750 billion in energy and invest US$600 billion in the U.S., a deal virtually none of Europe's leaders were happy with, and which France openly denounced. Article content Lesser entities have been similarly cowed. Paramount Pictures agreed to a $16 million payoff rather than risk challenging a spurious suit that threatened a much-sought US$8 billion merger. Columbia University is to pay the government US$221 million rather than lose access to federal funding. Harvard initially put up a determined effort to resist federal threats, but is said to be open to a $500 million settlement. Article content Article content Many of the agreements are fuzzy and open to interpretation. All have resulted from one thing: the fear and uncertainty generated by the knowledge that the U.S. government has become a one-man operation that operates solely by the whim of a president shown unfailingly to be unpredictable, unreliable and contemptuous of the law, of accepted standards and even of his own word. There is nothing to be gained by betting the prosperity of Canadians on any assurances offered up by Washington as long as Donald Trump remains president. What must be done is to defend the country's integrity, its sovereignty, its independence and its standing as a place where fairness, trust, honesty and dignity are still treated seriously as core values, even if other entities are willing to bargain theirs away.
