Russia bans export of masks hazmat suits to fight virus

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Russia has not banned the export of masks and hazmat suits to fight the COVID-19 virus. In fact, Russia has been actively exporting medical supplies, including masks and personal protective equipment (PPE), to other countries to help combat the pandemic.

According to reports, Russia has been one of the largest exporters of PPE, including masks, gloves, and gowns, to countries such as the United States, Europe, and Asia. The country has also been producing and exporting ventilators, testing kits, and other medical equipment to help combat the pandemic.

In March 2020, Russia's government announced that it would be increasing production of PPE and medical equipment to meet domestic demand and also to export to other countries. The country has also been working with international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), to coordinate its response to the pandemic and share its expertise and resources with other countries.

It's possible that you may have come across a misleading or outdated report, but there is no evidence to suggest that Russia has banned the export of masks and hazmat suits to fight the virus.
