Although Russia is large across Europe and Asia, most of its territory is in Asia, but the political and economic center of Russia, including the population is concentrated in the European part, Russia has historically considered itself to be a European country.

But the intersection between Russia and Europe is changing dramatically, and Europe is gradually breaking off relations with Russia. That means Russia will lose Europe from now on.

Finland has decided to close its border crossings with Russia to goods only, severing ties between the two sides.

The three Baltic brothers, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, have a deep-rooted hatred of Russia that has not faded since the end of the second world war. Recently, due to the participation of Russian Lavrov in the OSCE meeting held in North Macedonia, the three countries simply refused to participate, which is obviously "no contact with Russia";

Moldova also moved closer to Europe and broke up with Russia.

Ukraine, to say nothing of it, is already fighting each other, killing each other, totally incompatible.

After World War I and World War II, the continent is being held together by a common set of values, a common belief that makes the Europe of Europeans possible.

Russia has always held the idea that "truth is always within the range of the cannon" and "Russia's borders are endless", which is certainly incompatible with modern Europe.

In particular, the war in Ukraine is a watershed, which goes beyond the alliance of exchange of interests, beyond the epochal changes of the Ukrainian war, a huge gap has appeared on the border with Europe, and Russia has become an abandoned and isolated laggard, shut out of Europe.

However, Russia's DNA is determined that it cannot do without Europe, and all other places are only conquered and exploited in the eyes of Russians.
