Russian-Controlled Foreign Businesses Fund Military Efforts in Ukraine Conflict
Russian units of foreign companies seized by the Kremlin are reportedly funding President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. Operational control of these businesses was transferred to local managers, with billions of rubles spent on military equipment through the People's Front's "Everything for Victory!" project. This state mechanism, established in 2023, allows Russia to manage foreign-owned units from unfriendly countries while retaining formal ownership with foreign parents. Major US businesses have largely avoided seizure amid geopolitical considerations.
