Alikhanov reported on the adaptation of the Russian industry to sanctions

Russia's industry has adapted to the sanctions. This was announced on March 18 by the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Anton Alikhanov at the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP).

"It is obvious that our industry as a whole has adapted to external pressure. The new sanctions packages add complexity, but do not fundamentally change the picture," Alikhanov said.

According to him, this became possible due to the establishment of cooperative relations, logistics, and settlement schemes. Export flows were also partially reoriented.

The Minister noted that former foreign partners had also left the high-tech segments. It takes more time to master them.

"We still have quite a lot of difficult work ahead of us, the perimeter of which, as already mentioned, is indicated by national projects of technological leadership," Alikhanov said.
