“The problem is that while we cannot answer a few key questions. The first: how long will the restrictions last, and the second: how hard they follow them in the regions. These two points do not actually give us a question, As far as entrepreneurs suffer from these measures. In such a situation, only regular payments can be helped until Lokdaun acts. Payments compensating lack of revenue. Because small and medium-sized businesses actually there is no airbag “,” Kulbak spoke >
