Consequences of sanctions: in the Russian Federation there will be problems with the issuance of passports due to printer deficiency

This was reported by the Head of the Department of Informantchnology, Communications and Information Protection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Yuriy Voynov, reports the Russian edition "Vedomosti". According to him, in Russia such equipment is not produced. And now the new printers cannot buy abroad. As a result of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they fear that in the future it will lead to problems with the issuance of internal passports.

"Matrix printers, so historically, are not produced in Russia. In view of the introduction of new sanctions, we theoretically cannot even buy new ones," Voinov commented. He also said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is ready to buy equipment from Russian developers if they can develop it in accordance with certain quality requirements. "We as a state organ cannot say: here you are an advance and you in three years give [printers].

But we are ready, guaranteed to say: if you provide us printers who will meet clear and understandable requirements, then we will really buy them and We are ready to order these volumes, " - said Voynov. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs bought Japanese printers Epson and OK, as well as Italian Oliveetti. The equipment received before the full -scale war will be enough for about a year, after which there will be problems with the issuance of passports.

However, it also depends on the availability of spare parts and consumables. Recall that the European Union prepares a ninth package of sanctions against Russia. According to the head of the European Commission Ursula von Der Lyen, Europe will hit the Russian Federation in the most painful places to stop fighting in Ukraine. On November 23, the European Parliament recognized Russia with a country-existence of terrorism.
