After the start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, the United States and a number of other countries banned high-tech exports to Russia. Because of this, the world's largest manufacturers of telecommunications equipment suspended deliveries of their products to Russia. Subsequently, the United States excluded telecommunications and Internet equipment from the sanctions list. Nevertheless, the American Cisco, the European Nokia and Ericsson, and a number of other vendors announced a complete cessation of operations on the Russian market. The Chinese Huawei and ZTE did not make such statements, but in fact stopped concluding new contracts. In mid-October, Izvestia, citing its own sources, wrote that Cisco could resume deliveries of telecommunications equipment to Russia through the Russian company IBS, but the company itself did not confirm such an intention.
