Russian industrialists push for longer sanctions during local problems.

Some Russian business owners want the US to keep sanctions against Russia. They have spent a lot of money trying to convince US leaders to keep the sanctions. These business owners believe that if the sanctions are lifted, American, Japanese, and European companies will sell a lot of equipment in Russia.

This equipment would include things like factory machines. The Russian business owners say that Russian-made products are not as good as the foreign ones. Their products are more expensive, lower quality, and it's hard to get parts for them.

In recent years, Russian businesses have started to improve. They have gotten some big orders from the government, and the government has given them money for research. This has led to a higher demand for some Russian-made machines, even though they are still expensive.

However, these businesses are afraid that if the sanctions are lifted, foreign companies will come back to Russia and take all their customers. They believe that foreign companies are more experienced and can sell their products for less money, making it impossible for Russian companies to compete.

These business owners argue that the sanctions are actually helping some Russian companies. They believe that the sanctions give Russian companies a chance to improve their products and become more competitive.
