"What about the extensive British investment interests in Russia?" Well, Britain is one country in a trading block of +28 countries, so the photographed agenda is a position of one EU member state, not all. In this type of situations, not everybody is a winner. In government and finance this is called "political risk", and investments in Russia are priced accordingly.
