State Duma deputies banned themselves from driving foreign cars

The Duma Council decided to allow deputies to use only Russian-made cars. As stated in the press service of the State Duma, the decision was made unanimously.

It is reported that the decision will come into force in 2024.

Earlier, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated that the chamber had already begun the process of transferring the company fleet to domestic brands as vehicles were retired. Volodin believes that this will help the Russian automobile industry and “budget funds will remain in the country.”
