Under pressure Renault suspends its activities in Russia and considers withdrawal

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy called on Wednesday for a global boycott [of Renault]. The latter has already announced the closure of its Moscow factory and is seeking a solution for its majority stake in the capital of Russian number 1 Avtovaz, producer of the Lada brand.

The group is evaluating the possible options concerning its stake in Avtovaz, while acting responsibly towards its 45,000 employees in Russia”, could we read in a brief press release, where the group also underlined that it was “already implementing the necessary measures to respect international sanctions...
