Russian PM says about return of IT specialists to Russia

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that about 85% of IT professionals who left Russia have already returned to the country, according to SIM cards.

“I’ll tell you that today, using SIM cards, we see that 85% returned,” he said, speaking to the participants in the Leaders of Russia contest, according to TASS.

Mishustin also noted that the most of the decisions taken by the government recently are "prompt responses to emerging challenges."

“For example, the same decision to support the IT industry — a fundamental, very important decision — was made instantly, as soon as the first information appeared that our specialists began to leave,” he specified.

The prime minister also spoke about the need for long-term solutions.
