One of the notable companies that have decided to divest from Russia is a multinational corporation specializing in consumer goods. The company cited the geopolitical situation and the impact of sanctions as reasons for selling its Russian operations.

Another major player in the energy sector has also made a similar decision. The energy company stated that the current political climate has created uncertainty and risks for its business in Russia, leading to the sale of its assets in the country.
