Stop Doing
Business with Russia
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.

Turkmenistan refused to pump Russian gas to China. The Kremlin's plans to create a "gas union" in Central Asia to pump more gas to China have met with resistance from Turkmenistan, China's largest supplier of pipeline gas. Turkmenistan does not plan to connect Russia to the pipeline through which gas is supplied to China, the country's Foreign Ministry said. Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are already supplying China with gas together through a pipeline built by the state-owned Turkmengas and China's CNPC. Of the 55 billion cubic meters per year, Turkmen gas accounts for 40 billion cubic meters, and the rest is supplied by Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
