    There is only one conclusion from all this trouble: - Assets of the state. corporations or enterprises with state. participation should be kept only in its jurisdiction. Real estate, equipment, transport, everything that is necessary for carrying out activities abroad can be rented. You can rent from affiliated organizations.
