Historically, the region has been pitted against the West in a series of push-and-pull interactions rooted in political tension. The Russian tech sector has been heavily impacted by various sanctions and trade embargoes imposed by the Western world. Consequently, it’s difficult for Russian tech companies to import essential components and technology into the region. Tech exports have also suffered as a result of sanctions, with companies sourcing new markets to replace resources previously obtained from Russia. However, the international trade industry continues to move along at a slowed pace with its stalwart trading partners.
