Instability of the importers market which is priority for the country, bounded with excitements about use by Russia theirs position on the energetic, markets for reaching political goal through the development of projects such as Nord Stream 2 and Turkish stream. In its turn in latest decade, Russia aspires to ensure solid positions in Siberia and Far East. American companies refuse to participate in the execution of orders for Russia due to the unstable political situation and stricter restrictive and regulatory measures, which makes the level of risk of cooperation unacceptable.
