According to the businessman, it is possible that Russia and France will resume cooperation on ATOM Infantry Fighting Vehicle should relations with EU partners soon improve.
"Hypothetically, the continuation of the cooperation is always possible, but if this pause, that arose due to the sanctions, continues for another couple of years, then what's the point of cooperation," Isaikin told RIA Novosti.
