Head of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev announced that the Russian authorities are discussing a ban on parallel imports of smartphones from Korean companies, such as Samsung and LG.
At the same time, the minister reassured iPhone lovers. According to him, the ban will not apply to the products of this brand.
“The government is discussing a ban on the parallel import of Samsung and LG smartphones, because there are Chinese analogues,”
