German companies are concerned about their business ties with Russia and most oppose economic sanctions
In the FT article, published on March 27, Ulf Schneider, Managing Partner at RUSSIA CONSULTING, comments: “I’ve heard a lot of voices – German Managers at Russian subsidiaries – saying ‘everything we built up over the last ten years, it will take us another five years to build that up again – back at the German headquarters they have lost confidence’.”
