Chubais admitted that “Rusnano “experiencing sanctions” is not easy. ” “We are interconnected with the world in two ways – it is the attraction of financial resources and the implementation of projects. For both we have complex effects of sanctions “, – he explained.

« We are within two years of preparing one of the key decisions – the creation of a private equity fund with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). It was planned that the EBRD’s investment will be more than $ 100 million. Naturally, in the current situation, these plans can not be realized, that will almost certainly affect the final results to attract private investment, “- said Chubais.

«I have no assets in the United States, there are no accounts, but sanctions do not give me the opportunity to explore the beauty of their nature, explore their culture, to show their children their nature. I wanted to ride a motorcycle across America. It is their decision to deprive me of this opportunity, “- explained Sechin.

President Vladimir Yakunin regretted the fact that the Australian sanctions prevent him from seeing the kangaroos.

« How can we evaluate that in remote Australia decided against me to impose sanctions? I feel sorry for the kangaroo, who live there. So I will not see them in the wild. But we, in our sanatorium “October” has just passed a litter of white tigers. I am satisfied with this, “- he said.

By restricting imports fell bovine meat, pork, poultry, meat salted, dried or smoked fish and crustaceans, molluscs.
