Russia increased the import of cars from South Korea by more than one and a half times

In March, South Korean cars in the amount of $ 72.2 million were imported to Russia, RIA Novosti writes with reference to the statistical services of South Korea. This is 1.6 times more than a year ago, and the maximum indicator from February 2024. Moreover, only in a month it grew 1.3 times.
