Since the end of February, Western countries have introduced several packages of sanctions against Russia, which affected a wide range of technological products. Thus, the United States has restricted the EXPORT of various categories of goods - from electronics and computers to avionics and components for the aerospace industry. Against this background, a number of Western companies and manufacturers announced the suspension of work in Russia, some of them announced that they would completely leave the Russian market.

Experts from the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-term Forecasting called the stoppage of semiconductor supplies from Taiwan, the problem with logistics in the European direction, and a sharp rise in inflation the most serious consequences of sanctions.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin described the situation with the sanctions as "difficult, but working", and also said that it would take at least six months to rebuild the Russian economy.
