A few more statements from Vladimir Putin:
– Yes, some companies [иностранные] are going to return, we know about it. But our companies, which are in their place, are at different stages of the investment cycle <...> We do not have the right to undermine these plans and reduce them to zero.
“We didn’t kick anyone out; those who left made that decision themselves.” You should not count on complete freedom of trade in the world as it was before. There will be no privileges or preferences for returning Western businesses; they will have to return on market conditions. If any niches of companies that have left Russia are occupied, then “the train has left.”
“I instruct the government to update the list of departed companies and make the process of their return as transparent as possible.
