On 25 February 2015, during an official visit by the President of Cyprus Nikos Anastasiadis to Moscow, a number of agreements were signed on closer economic and military cooperation between the two countries. Of these, the most important are the intergovernmental agreement on military cooperation, and a memorandum on cooperation between the defence ministries in the naval sphere. In contrast, the economic agreements signed are merely non-binding memoranda.

The Russian media have used the visit to demonstrate that not all EU countries are ready to limit their cooperation with Russia.
