Russia Russia’s ruling party proposes nationalization of Fazer’s, Valio’s and Paulig’s operations – “We will not tolerate stabbing in the back”

Russian Russia, the ruling party, suggests that the country should nationalize the activities of companies that withdrew from Russia due to the war in Ukraine.

Secretary of the Party General Council Andrei Turtshak In a statement published on Monday, the party ‘s website refers to three Finnish food companies: Fazer, Valio and Paulig.

Finnish companies have announced that they will close down their operations in Russia due to the war in Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia.

“In all cases, the decision is purely political. The price is a large number of Russian workers who will be laid off overnight, ”Turtshak says in a statement.

According to the party official, the nationalization of operations withdrawing from Russia would protect jobs as well as Russia’s production potential. According to him, Russia must take strong retaliation.

“This is an extreme measure, but we don’t tolerate stabbing in the back,” Turtshak says.

United Russia is the country’s ruling party, and it is supported by the president Vladimir Putinia and his policies.
