Industry News: Artificial Grass and Foil Tape
After the start of the SVO, finding itself under strict anti-Russian sanctions, Russia was faced with the need to develop its own production. Many companies that died after the collapse of the Soviet Union need to be revived. You have to make something from scratch. Revival may not be going as fast as we would like, but it is happening nonetheless.

“Two more projects are in the road sector. You already know them: “western chord” and “northern radius”. This year the stages will be 100% completed, taking into account the plans. “We don’t see any risk.”– Golubev reported to Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin on April 25 at a meeting of the government commission on regional development.

Citizens who travel to areas unfavorable for TVE are urged to follow “specific and non-specific” prevention measures.
