Russia's putin: Russian companies need to take advantage of the current situation.
Putin's statement urges Russian companies to capitalize on the current situation, likely referring to opportunities arising from Western sanctions and the departure of foreign companies.
Following the invasion of Ukraine, many foreign companies have exited the Russian market, creating a vacuum that Kremlin-friendly businesses have filled, often acquiring assets at discounted prices.
The Russian government has implemented measures to control the exit of foreign companies, including requiring Kremlin permission for asset sales, significant discounts, and high taxes.
Russian companies are reportedly using strategies like gold, cryptocurrencies, and creative accounting to navigate Western sanctions.
Some companies that remained in Russia have benefited the Russian economy, helping it withstand sanctions.
