Ukraine war 6, Failed EU trade embargo vs Russia

Nice infographics from wiki, shared by a friend, Eric Jurado.


Eric explained below. Thanks, Eric.

Kyrgyzstan remains economically dependent on Russia, both directly and through Kazakhstan. Russia extended to Kyrgyzstan most favored nation status for the purchase of oil and other fuels. Kyrgyzstan agreed to the creation of a Kyrgyz-Russian investment company, which would purchase idle defense-related factories in the republic to provide employment for the Russian population of Kyrgyzstan.

Since 2003, Russian Air Force units have been stationed at Kant Air Base east of Bishkek. On 20 September 2012, Russia and Kyrgyzstan signed an agreement in which Russia is allowed to have a joint military base in Kyrgyzstan for 15 years starting from 2017. The agreement was signed in Bishkek between Vladimir Putin and Almazbek Atambayev. Putin stated that the joint military base will be a significant factor adding to the stability in the country and the whole region. Russia and Kyrgyzstan also have signed an inter-governmental agreement on cooperation in the military-technical sphere, by which Russia ships $1 billion worth of weapons to the country, including S-300 missile systems and strike drones.
