It is also worth noting that the share of friendly countries in Russia's trade turnover exceeded 83%, suggesting that Russia's international trade is largely conducted with nations that share friendly relations. However, no new information about the specific countries making up this 83% was provided.
Overall, Russia's trade relationships with China, Turkey, India, and Sweden, among others, are significant components of its economy. As these relationships continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how they shape Russia's economic landscape in the future.
