The topic of this issue is “How the War Affects the Eurasian Economic Union.” Firstly, Alexander Libman and Anastassia Obydenkova review key EAEU trends: concerns about EAEU membership and about excessive dependence on Russia, difficult trade relations because of Western sanctions, a beginning recession for the entire region, sanctions against Russia prompting Eurasian autocracies to question their own connections with the West; secondly, Erik Davtyan analyzes the impact of the war on Armenia within the EAEU, arguing that the war limits Armenia’s capacity to instrumentalize the Eurasian agenda due to the asymmetry in economic power between Russia and other members.
