Russian authorities will decide how to use Renault’s plant in Moscow by the end of next week, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said on Thursday, after the carmaker announced it was suspending operations there.

Renault, the biggest player in the Russian auto market, said on Wednesday it stopped production at the plant and would assess its options on its majority stake in Avtovaz, Russia’s No. 1 carmaker following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
