“Micro-chips, machine tools, airplanes were named as three pillars of technological sovereignty of the Union State during our president’s visit to the aircraft factory in Irkutsk. He said that with Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin, Russian President] they will soon hear detailed reports from the governments on the progress made in the implementation of the agreements, projects that concern these three key areas,” Dmitry Krutoi said.
