Therefore, the farmers are afraid of lifting the sanctions. Until that raised this question on the “straight line” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that if cheap foreign products will come again in the country, the producers will be “Khan»

The sanctions regime -. It is a mirror mechanism, so the government’s decision might lead to a similar step on the part of Western countries. However, unlike prodembargo European sanctions, financial, domestic companies are pleased enough.

The sectoral sanctions by the EU limited the granting of loans and the provision of investment services to a number of Russian banks. They also include a ban on the supply of arms and the export of Russian weapons, in addition to this – to provide Russian oil companies innovative technologies. The latter can be particularly painful for the Russian companies, taking into account the need for technology for deep-water drilling and oil shale production.
