This opinion was expressed in an interview with the Kyiv magazine “Focus” by the Ukrainian multimillionaire and owner of the Kharkov Tractor Plant Alexander Yaroslavsky, answering the question in which markets his plant plans to sell its products.
“The first is Ukraine, the domestic market, and also Kazakhstan,” says Yaroslavsky. – We will look for options with Russia, because this is the main market for KhTZ. As they say, England has no eternal enemies, but only eternal interests.”
“So you still consider Russia to be your main sales market?” the publication clarified.
“Don’t you think so? There is a KhTZ, three thousand workers and ten thousand members of their families,” the businessman emphasized. - I'm thinking about it. If I am legally prohibited from trading with Russia, then as a law-abiding entrepreneur I will not trade with Russia. If they don’t prohibit it, then why shouldn’t I look for options?”
