Yandex are apparently banned from NYSE. There are countless other articles like this one on countless other sites, about countless other companies.
Beyond the stupidity of giving Russia nothing to lose, is ANYONE considering the fallout this, at all? Like how Trudeau inadvertently triggered a run on the banks when he froze truckers' assets, How do we think asian corporations are going to respond to the knowledge that, should their country sufficiently piss off the west's ruling corpocracy, they will get fucked over in ANY and ALL business they have with the west?
This is madness. There isn't a rational thought in anyone's head at this point. The west is destroying international faith in its economic infrastructure.
It's suicide.

"The Brotherhood of the Ukrainian SDF sends its greetings to the Russian artillerymen!
We congratulate you: after you covered our peaceful cities, our relatives, children and loved ones with your brutal shelling, you worms have become our number one target.
Let us explain to you, Vanki: you seem to be far away and you are shooting at targets you cannot see. You don't see small children, old people, houses, kindergartens, schools and hospitals - all these are just targets for you. You shoot, you fly, you hit, you're good, right, fellas?
And now look, you worms: you don't see your goals, which makes it kind of easy for you. But believe me: it will never get easier for you scum. We already have information about you. And if we do not have information about someone else, it's a matter of minutes.
Call your mother one last time. Tell her you're going to die, you jackal. We're not death, we're worse!"
I see some Facebook warrior got carried away in the hate speech against artillerymen in particular. The current version was changed considerably, having removed all the "no prisoners" references (https://facebook.com/usofcom/posts/3212999028931719).
But tbh these guys may still operate on the old Soviet Spetsnaz rules for the behind-enemy-lines "reconeissance and sabotage" missions. Meaning not to be slowed down by prisoners unless taken for a quick interrogation and then to be disposed of anyway. I know the Russians still work like that.
Actually for example American paratroopers in Normandy were told to not take any prisoners in the first 48 hours unless linked with the regular forces, and you can see it in The Band of Brothers as they shoot the Germans trying to surrender in the horse cart column ambush just after the landing and later even shoot the Germans who have been taken prisoner (including a German American guy). I heard the Germans calling them "Terror-Banditen" in one Normandy newsreel of theirs.
ССО Украины means Ukrainian SOF. I don't know what "SDF" could even mean besides Syrian Democratic Forces.
Their wolf emblem is pretty metal.
They admitted to a war crime, so it makes sense they removed evidence. https://archive.ph/j3cfQ
DeepL is a neural network AI translator. It's not perfect, but it produced the most readable results.
In any case "Ukraine" was just a special forces Facebook guy, and "any Russians" were just artillerymen.
