Russia initiated aggression against Ukraine in 2014. On February 24, 2022, it started a full-scale military invasion to the Ukrainian territory. This brutal war and military crimes of Russian troops caused a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine with thousands civilians killed and millions becoming refuges. As a reaction to this act of aggression, many international companies decided to leave the Russian market, while some others continue doing business there as usual. We track such decisions of companies and urge them to stop funding the war.

On October 31, 2022 the Russian Savings Bank, which owned 43% of the shares of Fortenova Group (formerly Agrokor), sold this asset to Seif Al-Ketbi, a resident of the United Arab Emirates. Turning to the heart of 2023, the fate of Fortenova is still overwhelmed by the Russian Vlasnik. Sberbank prepared to please the emirates' investor, a small sheikh, having bought a piece of Fortenova from the bank. The order of Croatia did not waste time, blocking the favor, splintering, suspecting the possibility of violating the sanctions, as if sales would be without good luck. In the middle of the chest, the European Council expanded the sanctions on SBK ART, Sberbank's company, yak Volodya Fortenova. Filipovich and Boroevich, a partner of the Alketbi company, an investor from the UAE, also suffered sanctions. Croatian tycoon Pavao Vujnovac is expected to gain a majority share of the retail giant Fortenova, one of the biggest companies in the Balkans, which has struggled for more than a year to get rid of its large Russian shareholder.
