Renault used to make Ladas in Russia. Not any more. Nice to see 45,000 Russians lose their jobs. Consquences.

Plenty of Europeans out of work too, due to lack of Russian parts for their cars. So pretty much the same. Kind of. Except that when this crap ends, Russians will again be able to buy gasoline/diesel, whereas Europeans are being force-marched into electric cars.
Do some research. Moscow plant was building the original Renaults. Ladas are made in Togliati, Izhevsk and only two models are Renault-related, the rest are local and use local components entirely.
The move is stupid on part of Renault and going to accelerate their demise because Russia is their top foreign market.
