On May 8, local time, Russian Direct Investment Fund President Dmitriev said in response to a reporter's question about whether previous predictions that Western companies will return to the Russian market in the second quarter of 2025 are still valid, that this prediction is still true. Dmitriev pointed out that some companies have begun to return to the Russian market. It's just that no public statement has been made, but the process has already started. When talking about the conditions for Western companies to return to Russia, Dmitriev pointed out that the Russian government will actively push for the return of Western companies and will not put up any obstacles to them, but will give priority to local enterprises. He also said that in fact, many Western companies are still in Russia, and recently he met with more than 150 American companies that are still in Russia. Dmitriev also stressed that if Western companies passively withdraw from Russia, the Russian government will also set corresponding standards to deal with it.
