Despite President Putin's claims of a thriving Russian economy, the absence of Boeing is notable. Before the Ukraine invasion, Boeing played a crucial role in Russia's aviation sector, selling, maintaining planes, and operating a design center. The company also sourced titanium from Russia. With President Trump's pursuit of closer ties with Moscow, Boeing's potential return is uncertain, facing significant obstacles. Boeing has not publicly commented on a possible return.
