Temporary management in foreign companies is presented exclusively for the benefit of Russia.

The Kremlin said that by encouraging some Western companies operating in Russia and, conversely, taking tough measures against others, Russia is stepping out of its own interests. "Russia, when making relevant decisions, is guided solely by its interests and will continue to do so," said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, referring to the preferences of American companies that intend to operate in Russia, and to the transfer of assets of several European companies under external management.
