The decision of Vladimir Putin from invade Ukraine and plunge Russia and the entire region surrounding it into a hell that is hard to justify, has commercial consequences for the aggressor country. As far as the automotive industry is concerned, many multinational companies have migrated and one of the most emblematic cases is the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance.
