MOSCOW, February 28. /TASS/. Russian companies falling under sanctions have the "Plan B," Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov told reporters.

"I cannot say we did not expect or were not ready to them. All the companies receiving such 'message' were actually ready to it by that time. And [they] always have the 'Plan B,'" Manturov said, commenting on the latest package of sanctions.

The US introduced restrictions in respect of more than 500 individuals and companies earlier on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Russian special military operation start in Ukraine.
