Another delegation? Don't they have a country to run?
The thing, the US doesn't need Russia for anything. The US itself is a continental power with lots of resources. And if there is some resource they need that they don't have there is a high likelihood that Canada or Australia will have it.
As for the EU, the only concern of the US is that they don't escape their control, and become an alternative center for power. For the EU, it is kind of obvious that Russia would be a major and stable resource provider. The alternatives are Africa or the Middle East but those are suboptimal because of their instability.

Well it looks like they’re only opening up an agricultural pavilion, so it shouldn’t take up too much.
Trying to take away that card from Trump?
Trump said he wanted to China to buy more Agri from US if im not mistaken.
EU will regress economically not because of lack of cheap resources but its own culture. there are plenty of resources in Latin America, Africa, Mideast, Central Asia that EU can get it cheaper. infact EU firms develop these resources so they also getting high paid jobs but also identify attract human capital from those countries that further enhance EU soft power.
look at scale of Aviation flights that EU is attracting from these countries. EU is foremost attractive place for Global South.
