“It is evident that The Russian economy has changed. Therefore, the requirements for foreign companies about location, real estate investments and technology will be others, ”he told local press.
The political official pointed out that the departure of foreign brands represented a unique opportunity for Russian companies and said that, thanks to state support, they took advantage of it “in whole”.

United States President Donald Trump avoided calling ‘dictator’ to the Russian homologist Vladimir Putin, and insisted that the Russian President should sit with Zelenskyy to negotiate the end of the war in Ukraine.
Trump also stated that he is “Very close” to sign an agreement with Ukraine so that the country gives natural resources Washington, especially essential minerals and rare lands for technological development, such as compensation for US help. Zelenskyy revealed at a press conference this week that the proposal delivered by Washington last week included the assignment of 50% of Ukraine’s natural resources.
Russia and the US will hold a second round of diplomatic consultations within two weeks, said Serguei Riabkov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
