Auchan and Leroy Merlin will continue to work in Russia

According to RIA Novosti, the French government is not yet asking its businessmen to leave Russia. Earlier, President Emmanuel Macron also spoke about this, urging business representatives not to rush to leave the Russian Federation.

Currently, about 1,600,000 Russians work for French companies in Russia.

Earlier reports of withdrawal from the Russian market were denied by the Globus hypermarket chain. This information was called fake.

Recall that OBI, IKEA and Jysk chains of construction stores and household goods announced their withdrawal from the Russian market. In addition, a number of other foreign companies in various industries have ceased to cooperate with Russia - from raw materials companies to clothing stores. The decision was made against the backdrop of Western sanctions. The companies were unable to continue making mutual settlements.
