European businesses in Russia confirm that they have no interests in any deterioration of the current international situation linked to Ukraine.

The Association of European Businesses calls upon all parties to engage in a constructive dialogue, which will secure stability, welfare and economic growth on the European continent.

The European Union's and Russia's economies are highly interdependent.  Russia is the EU's third partner in trade while Russia has around 50% of its foreign trade with the European Union and far more than 50% of foreign direct investment into Russia comes from European sources.
