Do consumers rely on sanctioned companies?
Hi! The European Union, the United States, and other Western countries have imposed a series of sanctions targeting Russia's financial, energy, and defense sectors for its aggression against Ukraine as an independent state. These measures include bans on companies doing business in russia asset freezes, and restrictions on access to capital markets. The main goal was to put pressure on the Russian government to change its behavior in Ukraine and respect international norms. I agree that it is extremely important to have an open discussion of ethical issues affecting companies that continue to operate in Russia. While some companies may have good reasons to stay, it is important for consumers to be informed and consider the consequences of their choices. |
