| Abstract: | Transatlantic relations have initially warmed up after President Joe Biden took office, while a series of incidents such as the Russia-Ukraine border confrontation and escalating tensions in the Black Sea region have contributed to a further downturn in Russia- European Union relations. In Moscow's opinion, the EU's collective action towards Russia is mainly driven by political security considerations and human rights concerns, represented respectively by the Ukraine crisis and the Navalny incident. |
