He made the statement during the celebration of the 35th anniversary of Volga-Dnepr in Ulyanovsk.

Isaikin noted that the group is "of interest to those in need of its profile services," but "this interest is manifested taking into account the specifics of the current moment."

If the homeland says that the company should go to serve the homeland, then that's it: nationalization, confiscation, a fair deal, any form.
