Nestle limited its activities in Russia after the start of a special military operation. Deputy Alexey Chepa comments on the possibility of resuming full-fledged work of the company.
The return of Nestle to control over assets in Russia in the current situation is unlikely, says Alexey Chepa, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs. He shared his opinion in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
According to him, in Switzerland they are already actively talking about lifting sanctions against Russia, but so far this is just talk.
“In terms of resolving some private issues, this is possible, but in today’s situation it is unlikely. Why should we meet halfway? We didn’t take it from anyone - this is temporary. Nestle was interested and made very good money here. Then influence your government,” the deputy explained.
Chepa noted that the decision to return the company depends not only on Moscow, but also on the position of the Swiss authorities, who introduced restrictions. Until the sanctions are lifted, it is premature to talk about a full return of Nestle, the parliamentarian concluded.
