Summary
Moscow warns that Western companies that left Russia after its invasion of Ukraine will face consequences if they return.
Russian industry minister Anton Alikhanov stated, “There will be a price to pay for past decisions,” emphasizing a focus on domestic and Eurasian partners.
Nearly 475 firms, including McDonald’s and Ikea, exited following sanctions, though some may consider returning post-war.
Experts note that political, reputational, and economic challenges—amid ongoing inflation, tight monetary policy, and Putin’s authoritarian control—will likely deter a rapid re-entry by Western companies.
Good idea threatening people who would want to do business with you, especially when your economy isn’t worth investing in even without the threats.
You would think, but Muskrat told all the advertisers to fuck off and now they are slowly crawling back to him.
Anyone who goes back to Russia absolutely deserves to be bent over a barrel and violated by Russia until the end of time.
stupid games, stupid prizes.
Talking as if Russia isn’t going to continue to be sanctioned. Yes I know that’s different, but I think the sentiment is fuck Russia and why bother with Russia. Add in any other “price to pay” just furthers why bother.
Way to guarantee a way to not get business.
Fucking collapse already
Russian politicians behaving like business and politics work the same way teenage relationships do.
Foreign firms are probably not rushing back to Russia either
It would be pretty stupid top go back, Russia is even more corrupt and lawless than it was before the war.
It’s an extremely poor environment for serious business.Didn’t Russia already sieze all the assets they left behind? What are they gonna do levey a another quadrillion-trillion ruble fine that no ones ever going to pay?
Good, don’t return then.
Returning to Soviet glory alright.
Yeah, so many high fives that their shoulders get thrown out. Damn expensive physical therapy and your price to pay!
There’ll be a price to pay if they return, alright.
Damn, Pooty-poot you’re up your own ass real good there.
