State Secretariat for Trade reinforces monitoring of trade relations of Spanish companies operating in Russia and Ukraine

More than 300 participants took part in this meeting.

The situation of companies operating in both markets and their doubts and uncertainties about the issues that concern them were addressed during the meeting, and participants were provided with information about the sanctions imposed on Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine to assess their impact on Spanish economic activity in the region.

In addition, the 'Business Russia-Ukraine' mailbox has been opened to receive and respond to enquiries from businesses about the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Interested companies can send their requests via email to empresas-rusia-ucrania@mincotur.es.

Trade has set up this forum for communication between the Administration and the Spanish business sector to enhance the monitoring of trade exchanges and resolve possible frictions. The objective is to facilitate and make available to the companies involved all the mechanisms within the scope of the Secretary of State for Trade to support them in their activity in international markets.
