Of course after 26th February, I clearly posted that. You replied to my post containing this:
They appear to be pretty much a Renault subsidiary.Autovaz, the Lada car manufacturers make a Lada supercar now:
They are, but they have a fine range of modern cars now which have been praised by Autocar who've reviewed them, so in this respect sanctions won't trouble them.
Hope it's got a heated rear window to keep your hands warm when you're pushing itAutovaz, the Lada car manufacturers make a Lada supercar now:

But here's a kicker as Americans say. Vayacheslav molotov, Russian foreign minister during ww2 (after which its named) was hated by Finns for claiming bombing runs over Finland in ww2 were humanitarian aid/food drops. Evidently lying as part of deliberately killing civilians is not a new russian strategy.
What a mess up. The transfer should just have been done secretly . Now the problem is not really the USA..its Poland. They have the kit they could just as easy sell it or lease it or whatever to the Ukrainians, but they feared a Russian response. So their idea was to give it to the USA ,on the assumption that Russia would be more circumspect.. and so they announced it ... Pity they hadn't had a conversation with the Americans first!. I really cannot see the difference between aircraft and donating missilesHe's showing far greater leadership than putin.

Pentagon says plan for Poles to give Soviet-era jets to US ‘not tenable’ as Ukraine cities await promised Russian ceasefire
So a few Ukrainian pilots cross the border, walk up to an airfield, see some Migs, amazing keys in ignition, plenty of fuel, fully armed, and nick them.
Flecc,.. you are being disingenuous again . Zelensky has been asking for MEANINGFUL talks continuously .
As Oyster commented, Autovaz is very much a Renault subsidiary, today with 67% interest in the company. Their technology is very much Renault's, as you'd realise getting into one and seeing the touch-screen infotainment system. They've even got three fully electric Lada models, obviously technology from the Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi alliance.
That's history and I know that of course,
