Negotiations with the U.S. to lift sanctions from GAZ Group have shown some success, said the head of Volkswagen in Russia Markus Ozegovich. "Over the past three years I have traveled four times to the United States to negotiate sanctions against GAZ, with which we work closely, and I think there are some successes," he said. VW is carrying out contract assembly at GAZ's facilities in Nizhny Novgorod and has repeatedly stated the prospects of deepening cooperation with the Russian carmaker.
