Permanent Representative Platonov: Russia will gain nothing from leaving the WTO. Almost all of the country's foreign trade is based on the rules of this organization.
“By remaining in the WTO, Russia can convey its point of view to other participants and contribute to the adoption of decisions that meet our interests,” he said. Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin replaced Russia's permanent representative to the World Trade Organization, appointing Nikolai platonov to this position. He said the disadvantages of this step would be much greater than the advantages.
