Putin says services like Microsoft, Zoom should be 'throttled' in Russia

  • On May 26, Vladimir Putin demanded stricter measures against Western technology companies such as Microsoft and Zoom that continue to operate, albeit minimally, within Russia.
  • This demand follows the 2022 Western corporate exodus triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and associated international sanctions.
  • Putin made his demands during a meeting with entrepreneurs after a Russian videoconferencing company executive urged stifling these US tech services.
  • In October 2023, a Russian court imposed a 115 million-ruble penalty on Microsoft for conducting business without establishing a local office, reflecting Moscow's increasingly strict policies toward foreign companies.
  • Putin warned that Russia will respond in kind to actions from Western companies and indicated that those who left will not be welcomed back easily.
