Russia Still Leads the World in Digitalization Despite Restrictions, Says Foreign Ministry
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The West has imposed extensive sanctions on Russia since 2022, including restrictions on advanced technology exports. These measures were intended to limit Russia's access to critical semiconductors, software, and telecommunications equipment. However, Moscow has accelerated domestic IT development to mitigate the impact.
Russia confidently retains its leading global position in
digitalization, despite the foreign attempts to hack its equipment, restrictions on technology transfer and sanctions, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told
Sputnik.
"Despite large-scale attempts to hack equipment, restrictions on technology transfer, and sanctions, Russia has not only ensured the integrity and security of critical information infrastructure, but also confidently maintains its leading global position in digitalization. Programs launched by the government to replace foreign information and communication technologies are yielding results," Vershinin said.
Russia is ready to share with its partners the experience of protecting sovereignty in the information space, the deputy foreign minister said.
"[Russia] perhaps like no other in the world, has faced in recent years an unprecedented malicious campaign, pressure on domestic computer networks, and externally supervised computer crime," Vershinin said.
The deputy minister added that many countries of the world
show interest in cooperation with Russia in information and communications technologies, especially countries of the Islamic world.
"The countries of the Islamic world are interested in Russian software and hardware developments, data protection algorithms, cryptography, projects in state services digitalization," Vershinin said.
They are also interested in legal practices aimed at public order maintenance, prevention of crimes with the help of information and
communications technologies, the official said.
"It’s remarkable that the partners often chose to cooperate with Russia as they trust us, in particular under conditions of broad use of Western products for espionage and interference in internal affairs," Vershinin emphasized.
