Hundreds of Western companies said they would exit the Russian market after the invasion of Ukraine, but the majority of them remain, watchdogs say. The Western companies that stayed are often heavily reliant on Russian business, with the losses of an exit perhaps outweighing possible damage to their brands of staying in the country, Robyn Dixon reports.
Products from brands such as BMW and Apple remain available in Russia after the companies announced plans to suspend or end operations in the country, though in some cases, this is because of unofficial imports. Ukraine has also named 19 other foreign firms still operating in Russia as sponsors of the war. “There are a lot of companies that did nothing or still continue to wait,” said Andrii Onopriienko, director of the Leave Russia Project at the Kyiv School of Economics.
