Putin allowed exceptions to sanctions for Ukrainian firms

Vladimir Putin signed amendments to his decree allowing the government of Mikhail Mishustin to make temporary exceptions in the application of retaliatory sanctions against Ukrainian companies and citizens.

Now the Russian list of counter-sanctions includes more than 900 individuals from Ukraine and more than 80 Ukrainian firms, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

This does not mean at all that such a measure creates indulgences for representatives of the state, which the West uses to harm Russia.

It may turn out to be an incentive for representatives of big Ukrainian business, which in the current conditions is impossible to survive, an opportunity to escape from under Kiev’s dictatorship and try to establish relations with Russia privately.

Let us hope that the use of this measure will benefit Russia. And not for the salvation of big Ukrainian capital, which has ‘no homeland,’ and which will continue to sponsor the Nazi regime and continue the mortification of the rest of the population,” economist Alexander Dudchak commented to PolitNavigator.

A source familiar with the situation suggested that Viktor Medvedchuk, now in Moscow, could act as an intermediary with Ukrainian business.

The main thing is that this should not turn into a trade of indulgences,” the interlocutor said.
