He said this in an exclusive interview with RT on the sidelines of the International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum".
Khusnullin admitted that sanctions, of course, interfere with work.
"For example, in road construction, dependence on imported components was at the level of 5-7%. For example, in complex technological equipment, we have a dependence of 30%. Therefore, we quickly rebuilt. And in the end, despite the sanctions, our industry has not fallen over the past three years, but has received an increase of 15% in three years," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
At the same time, many Russian builders have found the opportunity to work with suppliers through third countries, he said.
"A very big plus is that a lot has begun to be produced in Russia. Our people are very enterprising. When they see that something is gone and a free niche has appeared, they began to produce in Russia. Therefore, we believe that in the total result we will have more advantages from the sanctions," the source added.
Earlier, Khusnullin said that a total of 6 thousand new apartments are planned to be commissioned in 2023 in Mariupol in the DPR.
