For Russian importers and Russian enterprises trading with China, Russia is the core country of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and an important transit and destination country for the China-Europe Railway Express. Cities such as Moscow, Yekaterinburg, and Novosibirsk are key arrival stations, where machinery, automotive parts, electronics, and consumer goods from China arrive via rail and are then distributed to Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and other EAEU countries. Traditional maritime routes rely on chokepoints such as the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, or the Northern Sea Route, each vulnerable to geopolitical tensions or weather conditions. Long transit times, unstable schedules, and frequent port congestion have long been challenges for Russian importers.
