Russia's trade with the US has hit a 30-year low amid Western economic sanctions against Moscow.
Meanwhile, Russia's trade with China is on track to hit an all-time high of more than $200 billion.
The Eurasian nation's trade with the US plunged to a three-decade low in July, while its commerce with China is on track to hit an all-time high of more than $200 billion this year.
Russia's trade with China is set to surpass the $200 billion milestone this year, according to the minister of economic development Maxim Reshetnikov, per a local Russian news outlet.
However, Russia's oil and gas trade now appears to be making something of a comeback after a year of pain, thanks to a rally in global oil prices.
