All the fault of the armed conflict in the Donbass, in direct intervention in which the EU suspect Russia. It is with this global policy and associated reduction in the competitiveness of the Russian economy. For Russia, it is very painful, because in the last five years, it has only been strengthened in the IMD ranking and could even rise to as many as 17 positions.
