Nokia has requested export licenses in the US and Finland for the supply of telecom equipment to Russia, RBC writes, citing a source in the Russian government.
After the adoption of the US and EU supply of high-tech equipment with special permits. A request to the US Bureau of Industry and Security is necessary because Nokia in 2016 absorbed the French-American equipment manufacturer Alcatel-Lucent and some food patents.
Permission from the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required because equipment supplies come from that country.
The interlocutor of RBC stopped, we are talking about the supply of spare parts, and not equipment for expanding networks. After Nokia fulfills all obligations in Russia, it will leave the country, and another company will be engaged in service maintenance. It is expected that this will take about a year after receiving the export cargo. [РБК]
