The pressure by the collective West on the individual EEU states is growing, it affects all members of the union, said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, RIA Novosti reported.

"Our economies are closely linked, so only together can we respond effectively to unfriendly moves," Mishustin added at Tuesday’s enlarged meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, in the Belarusian capital Minsk.

He noted that the main task now is to minimize the Western sanctions’ impact on the people and strengthen macroeconomic stability.

"It is important to ensure the further progressive development of Eurasian integration, to jointly overcome the consequences of the instability of the international economic system in the conditions of a new complex geopolitical reality," Mishustin stressed.

To note, Armenia also is a member country in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
