Which global companies left Russia and why: list

Giant global companies in every sector are leaving Russia after invading Ukraine, reports Axios.

Why it matters: In addition to condemning the invasion, companies see an impossible environment to operate, from worker safety to supply logistics, financial and trade disruptions, and the difficulty of enforcing sanctions.

Status: Financial sanctions isolated Russia from the rest of the world. Businesses operating in Russia have increasingly limited opportunities to collect revenue or pay workers and suppliers.

• Economic sanctions, including export controls, have reduced imports.
• Some workers were taken out of Russia.
• Airspace and travel restrictions prevent companies from getting the equipment they need to continue working.

Between the lines: Some companies that have very little physical presence in Russia — including many in technology, retail and media — are restricting or withdrawing their products in Russia.

Flashback: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union three decades ago, Russia has been seen as an emerging market with long-term growth potential.
