Russian technology and defense industry conglomerate Rostec, the country’s largest government-controlled corporation, insists that sanctions the U.S. and European Union imposed against Russia for its annexation of Crimea and support of separatists in Ukraine have not significantly eroded is share of the global market. “Despite the pressure of foreign sanctions, the corporation has managed to strengthen business relationships with Western partners, and so to prove once again that for us, business stays out of politics,” said Rostec general director Sergei Chemezov.
