Despite political difficulties, trade between the EU and the EEU remains the most important area of cooperation. Undoubtedly, under the influence of the pandemic, we saw a decline in economic indicators in 2020. However, in the first eight months of 2021, exports from the EAEU countries totaled $133.6 billion. This is almost the same as for the whole of 2020.
