The Ukrainian boycott of Russian goods will cost $ 2 billion to the businessmen in the Russian Federation

The Ukrainian Association of Suppliers of retail chains has estimated that the Ukrainian boycott will cost Russian businessmen at least $ 2 billion.

It is noted that Russian goods disappear from the shelves of Ukrainian shops. So for the past year, their share has been halved, and continues to decrease.

In addition, international companies, which previously imported goods from its Russian plants, started to import goods from Europe.

Coffee, chocolate and clothes - that of Russia, which has suffered the most, experts say. To protect against loss, some Russian companies have resorted to trickery. Its products are already packed in our state. Thus on the shelves you can find black and red caviar of Ukrainian production.

Some went even further. One of the Russian oil companies sold its network of filling stations in Ukraine to Austrians. However, the sale, experts say, is more a rebranding case, because the new gas station owners also have Russian roots. But they do their best to escape from the boycott.

At the same time, our drivers do not believe such conversions, the experts say. Therefore the sales on the Russian gas stations are several times lower than on Ukrainian ones.
