Ukraine Invasion: Here are the companies that have taken action against Russia so far

All eyes are on Russia this week as the West’s growing docket of financial penalties deal a harder-than-expected blow to the country’s economy, challenging a decades-long effort by President Vladimir Putin to make the system sanction-proof.

To add to the economic blowback, Corporate America and a growing number of multinational companies have joined in protest of Moscow’s military attack on Ukraine, moving to sever business dealings with Russia or take a stand in support for Ukrainian refugees.

Measures by the U.S. and Europe, including a move to block some Russian banks from the SWIFT payment network and sanctions on the Central Bank of Russia, have already sent the ruble cratering more than 30% and kept the Moscow Stock Exchange closed on Monday. A sharper economic fallout is underway, with JPMorgan warning the country is poised to enter a recession.

More penalizing announcements from multinational companies expected in the week ahead are likely to further derail the economic picture for Russia and the way of life for its citizens.

The repercussions for Russia’s financial system, even in early stages and still widening, have already proved so consequential that Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid deemed recent events “a financial war.”

JPMorgan was the first bank on Wall Street to make a bet on the economic fallout for Russia that could ensue, estimating the country’s economy could contract 20% quarter over quarter, saar [seasonal adjusted annualized rate], in 2Q, and around 3.5% for the year.

“These sanctions will almost certainly hit their mark on the Russian economy which now looks headed for a deep recession and the imposition of capital controls,” JPMorgan’s team said.

Here are the first round of actions from a host of big-name companies that began to trickle in recent days:
