Following Russia’s Ukraine invasion, many international companies are pulling out business from Russia

As a result of the invasion of Ukraine, Western and other foreign companies are departing Russia en masse, reversing three decades of investment.

A list of companies cutting ties or reviewing their operations grows by the hour as governments around the world ratchet up sanctions against Russia, blocking some banks from using SWIFT. The collapse of the ruble and the U.S. ban on transactions with the Russian central bank have made operating in Russia very difficult.  

However, they are not the only ones using economic means to punish Russia. Several private companies, including many U.S. tech giants, have found ways to fight back against the invasion.

These are just a few of the largest corporations currently sanctioning Russia, though this list is not exhaustive:

Ford

Apple

Equinor

Netflix

Shell

Mastercard

Visa

Volvo
Google

Facebook

General Motors

Boeing
