Russian companies ask for sanctions against Turkey to be mitigated

A number of Russian companies, including Sberbank, have appealed to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development with requests for exemptions to the special economic measures imposed against Turkey, the first deputy head of the department Alexey Likhachev said.

"We are carrying out systematic work on the analysis of the effects of the measures taken, including industry analysis and appeals of specific companies. I can say that a few large companies, including Sberbank, have announced such requests,'' RIA Novosti cites him as saying.
