"With the start of the war on 24 February last year, many companies declared suspension or complete cessation of further operations in Russia. This was to be a way to express the condemnation of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
However, as it turns out, 9 percent of global companies withdrew from Russia during the almost year of Russian aggression against Ukraine, and any Western banks made large profits in Russia at the time. specified a situation was reported by the advisor to Ukrainian president Mikhail Podolak.
Almost a year of war and only 9 percent of nearly 1 and a half 1000 global companies left the Russian Federation market. Among Western companies that inactive work in Russia, the most is German (19.5%), 12.4% are American companies, and 7 percent are Japanese. any Western banks have experienced surpluses in Russia during the year of full - scale war. German Raiffeisen increased gross in Russia by 313 percent. He estimated that the bank had paid EUR 94.8 million to the Russian State through the taxation paid in Russia. According to advisor Zelenski, this is simply a taxation for war, for killing Ukrainians.
Podolak argued that, acting in the FR, global companies pay taxes to the Russian budget, which are utilized for the production of (Russian) industrial and defence complex. Under the fresh Russian regulations, corporations operating in Russia are forced to support workers' calls to the army and finance their military equipment. He judged that staying in Russia during the current war is simply a conscious position, and passive inaction is besides a crime" [1].
In fact, this is very sad news, but especially for Ukrainians. planet business with a peculiar focus on sectors: finance and arms can only be enjoyed, due to the fact that it has always earned a luck from various types of crises, revolutions and all wars, and it yet earns from them.
To a large extent, therefore, all packages of sanctions against Russia, which included a regulation or even a ban on contacts and business cooperation between Western companies and the Russian Federation, were of no avail.
Money wins again in confrontation with ethical-moral and theoretically beautiful axiological postulates. So let me repeat, wasn't it always like this? Unfortunately, the question seems rhetorical.
As a rule, it was (and most likely is) that certain companies were so insolent that they straight and indirectly assisted the armed and financially opposing sides of the war conflict. Although the message that "supported" is alternatively inappropriate, due to the fact that this aid simply consisted in the sale of its financial and factual services and thus in debt to both parties to the conflict. And the value of this debt has incapacitated individual countries (or organizationally another entities fighting each other) for decades or even forever.
For example, the judaic banker household Rothschild, which, for example, financed both sides of the conflict during the Napoleonic run in 1814 and earned a luck from it [2]. And I think that's how it works today, and her assets are considered the largest in the world, though the Rothschilds - according to the order of the elder of the Mayer home Amschel Rothschild - never mention and disclose its value. another judaic families besides made wealth in revolutions and armed conflicts: Rockefellers or Morgans.
It is besides worth mentioning the arms sector, which, as financially, draws unimaginable profits from all war. American companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics prevail here. Companies from another countries are besides at the forefront as shown in the table below:

If for each of these companies so draw a multi-annual illustration of their production and sales, I am certain that always the peaks of these volumes would fall in this sineloid right in the periods of various armed conflicts, whether local or global.
It is besides frequently the case that the war allows these companies and the countries in which they operate to simply clean up warehouses from armed antiques so that they can fill them again with recently produced weapons. This besides fuels not only the arms industry, but besides the financial sector and, by the way, strengthens the military strength of countries purchasing fresh weapons.
But in war, not only does the arms and financial sectors gain unethically. This is besides done by another companies representing almost all sectors, from the automotive manufacture through construction to food and medical and pharmaceutical.
Nevertheless, there should be any moral-ethical limits to the action of the war business. It cannot be that, as now, companies do nothing at all with sanctions imposed on them and on Russia, and proceed to cooperate with the Russian aggressor, indirectly contributing to his military strength. This should yet be precisely legally defined with the anticipation of imposing penalties on these companies, the amount of which would render cooperation with the aggressor state, specified as Russia now, unprofitable.
Is that gonna happen? I don't know, but by analyzing the past and the present, I'm alternatively pessimistic due to the fact that business has money and they supposedly regulation the world.
Leave behind the good, love and wisdom...
