"On the sidelines of the meeting I asked US businesses one and the same question — do sanctions create obstacles for your work? Of course, everybody told me that sanctions are a bad thing. I absolutely agree with them. I asked the colleges what their problem is. [They answered] that it is a lack of predictability… All partners said that it is [unpredictability] from the US side [not from the Russian side]," Antonov said in an interview with Channel One.
