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.

Suspend services in Russia & reduce shipments to and from Russia significantly
Shortly after the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the shipping company Hellmann Worldwide Logistics informed the employees of its Moscow enterprise that it was withdrawing from Russia. Before the war, Hellmann's Moscow office helped Russian industrial firms ship tools, spare parts and equipment to Russia from the West, but after the invasion such supplies were severely restricted by international sanctions. Instead, a Russian-registered firm called Heinrich Tapp Rus (HT Rus), owned at the time by at least two former Hellmann employees, took over many of Hellmann's old customers. Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has stated that it has nothing to do with the activities of HT Rus or the people who run it.
