Abstract: After February 24, 2022, as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, the situation in Europe and the world as a whole has undergone significant changes, moving the issues of the climate agenda away from the priority list. But political-military aggravation in Europe does not eliminate climate change problems. The authors summarize the implications of the EU Green Deal for Russia and propose two scenarios for the possible collaboration between two actors: climate partnership and "business as usual". The main parameters of the two scenarios are outlined. Though climate partnership scenario seemed unrealistic by early June 2022, cooperation on the green agenda remains vital for both sides both in terms of dealing with global and regional challenges and for stabilizing Russia-EU interaction as a whole. The authors suggest recommendations to help Moscow and Brussels construct an optimal cooperation on climate in the medium-term perspective. The article is based on a study completed in 2021.
