Anheuser-Busch InBev agreed to sell its stake in a Russian joint venture to partner Turkish brewer Anadolu Efes. Russia is still not letting go of AB InBev: the authorities refuse to approve the deal. Accordingly, AB InBev will be forced to continue operating in Russia, but already under the management of Anadolu Efes. In August 2024, the Russian government refused to approve an agreement between the brewing company and Anadolu Efes, according to which the latter received full control of the joint venture of the couple, which operates in Russia and Ukraine. Under the deal, Turkey's Anadolu Efes, whose management currently controls the business unit in Russia, would not receive any payments in exchange for its partner's non-controlling stake in six-year-old AB InBev Efes. At the end of October 2024, the pair announced that they intended to separate the company, with Anadolu Efes getting the Russian unit and AB InBev the Ukrainian unit.
