There are a couple of official government languages in thr Ru. And for doing business within a certain country, local official languages apply. For international contracts, parties can simple agree on a different jurisdiction, in which case those jurisdictions languaged apply. But maybe all non-English speaking should just feel sorry for bothering the English speaking world with foreign languages.

For the EU so, the only English speaking country left is Ireland.

Ireland's first language is Irish, not English. Ireland has done pretty well embracing English as its operating language.
