    How can foreign companies be helped in Russia if foreign companies have announced sanctions against Russia? That's when the sanctions are lifted, then let them turn!

    Peter Altmayer, with hungry eyes from malnutrition, asks the country a gas station, with its economy torn to shreds, to help their business.
    But they would not go in a certain direction ...

    Germany is now very important to carry out structural economic reforms, invest in new technologies, diversify supply chains and make them more competitive. The Russian Federation can also improve its economic situation. We need security in competition, support of foreign enterprises operating in Russia from government agencies.

    Well, where is the call to help? Rather, a call for mutually beneficial cooperation. What's bad about it? Altmayer today is almost the only high-ranking German politician from the CDU (Ruling Party), set up to bring Germany and Russia closer. He is an ardent fighter for the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions. And he is a likely candidate for the chancellor.

    It means that we should sanction us, to spoil with flows, to give a damn about the soul, but just a little - Russia, help. And bash on bash?
