By Anna Ringstrom, Tassilo Hummel and Gwladys Fouche (Reuters) - French bank Societe Generale said it was working to cut its risks in Russia, fearing a tit-for-tat response by Moscow to Western sanctions, as more companies from vodka maker Diageo to IKEA suspended business in the country. Brazilian plane-maker Embraer joined Airbus and Boeing in halting parts supplies to Russian airlines, while Lufthansa said it was considering rerouting cargo flights to Asia via Alaska to avoid Russian airspace. "The war has both a huge human impact and is resulting in serious disruptions to supply chain and trading conditions, which is why the company groups have decided to temporarily pause IKEA operations in Russia," IKEA said in a statement. Broadening the spread of corporate responses, IKEA is also one of the first companies to halt business with Belarus, an ally of Russia that has played a supporting role in its invasion of Ukraine. Spirits company Diageo, the maker of Smirnoff vodka and Guinness, said on Thursday said it had paused exports to Ukraine and Russia.

Volkswagen Stops Business With Russia As Major Firms Respond To War

12:22pm, Thursday, 03'rd Mar 2022 The Bridge News
German car giant, Volkswagen (VW) said it would stop its vehicle production in Russia “until further notice” and “immediately” halt exports to Russia in light of the attack on Ukraine. VW operated its own car production sites in Kaluga, south-west of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, further east. The company on Thursday, announced that production at both sites would be stopped for the time being. No cars from among the VW Group brands, including Audi, Porsche and Skoda would be exported to Russia, it said in a statement. On Wednesday, luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz said it was halting business with Russia. Selling to or buying from Russian companies had become far harder in the days since the Kremlin launched its invasion due to sanctions imposed by the international community. German carmakers had been particularly hard hit and the conflict had affected for example the provision of wiring harnesses from Ukraine that relayed information and electric power around a vehicle. Several car manufacturers had announced temporarily halts in production at some of their German sites in the past two days.

Global business abandons Russia after Ukraine invasion

10:21am, Thursday, 03'rd Mar 2022 Axios
Giant global businesses in every sector are abandoning Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. Why it matters: In addition to condemning the invasion, the companies see an impossible environment — from worker safety … to the logistics of getting supplies ... financial and sales disruption ... and the complexity of complying with sanctions. State of play: Financial sanctions have isolated Russia from the rest of the world . Businesses operating in Russia have an increasingly limited ability to collect revenue or pay workers and suppliers. Economic sanctions, including export controls, have curtailed imports . Some workers are being moved out of Russia. Restricted airspace and travel are preventing companies from getting equipment they need to continue to operate. Between the lines: Some companies that have very little physical presence in Russia — including many in tech , retail and media — are limiting how products are used in Russia, or have pulled them. Flashback: Since the Soviet Union''s collapse three decades ago, Russia had been seen as an emerging market with long-term growth potential.

Alaska Airlines updates Boeing order to get larger, longer-range jets

The new mix will add precious seats in markets where the carrier has seen the most demand, while allowing it to conserve fuel on some longer routes across California and Hawaii.
As of 9 p.m. Eastern Time Wednesday, Russian aircraft are prohibited from entering U.S. airspace. President Biden announced he was ordering that in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, joining the European Union and Canada in banning Russian planes, part of a worldwide effort to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The Putin regime is expected to reciprocate and prohibit U.S. aircraft from entering Russian airspace. That could mean longer flights as jets are rerouted around closed airspace, but aviation industry experts say Russians will likely feel the greater impact. According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the order prohibits all passenger, cargo and charter flights on "all aircraft owned, certified, operated, registered, chartered, leased, or controlled by, for, or for the benefit of, a person who is a citizen of Russia." Any aircraft operators who violate the ban on entering U.S. airspace "may be intercepted, and their pilots and other crewmembers detained and interviewed by law enforcement or security personnel, as appropriate." The airline that will see the most immediate impact is Russia''s Aeroflot, which had been flying into Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C, and had been flying over U.S. and Canadian airspace to destinations in the Caribbean.

Whether or not you have a vested interest in Boeing Co., the announcement this week of further delays in the launch of the 787 Dreamliner is bad news.
Ukraine’s second biggest city, Kharkiv, suffered heavy bombardment on Wednesday, March 2, as Russia’s week-long invasion was denounced by the United Nations in a historic vote and dozens of countries referred Moscow to be probed for potential war crimes. The biggest attack on a European state since 1945 has caused over 870,000 people to flee, a barrage of sanctions against Russia, and stoked fears of wider conflict in the West unthought-of for decades. The incursion has yet to overthrow the government in Kyiv but thousands are thought to have died or been injured and it could cause another deep hit to the global economy still emerging from the coronavirus pandemic. The bombing of Kharkiv, a city of 1.5 million people in eastern Ukraine, has left its center a wasteland of ruined buildings and debris. “The Russian ‘liberators’ have come,” one Ukrainian volunteer lamented sarcastically, as he and three others strained to carry the dead body of a man wrapped in a bedsheet out of the ruins on a main square.

Russia pounds Ukrainian cities as advances stall

11:39pm, Wednesday, 02'nd Mar 2022 Business Recorder
KYIV/KHARKIV, (Ukraine): Ukrainians said on Wednesday they were battling on in the port of Kherson, the first sizeable city Russia claimed to have seized, while air strikes and bombardment caused further devastation in other cities, especially Kharkiv in the east. Russia’s week-old invasion has yet to achieve its aim of overthrowing Ukraine’s government but has sent more than 870,000 people fleeing to neighbouring countries and jolted the global economy as governments and companies line up to isolate Moscow. “The Russian ‘liberators’ have come,” one Ukrainian volunteer lamented sarcastically, as he and three others strained to carry the dead body of a man wrapped in a bedsheet out of the ruins on a main square. At least 25 people have been killed by shelling and air strikes in Kharkiv in the past 24 hours, authorities said. After an air strike on Wednesday, the roof of a police building in central Kharkiv collapsed in flames. ‘THEY JUST WANT TO DESTROY’ Pavel Dorogoy, 36, a photographer who lives near the city centre, said Russian forces had also targeted the city council building, which was empty at the time, a telephone exchange and a television tower on the edge of Kharkiv. “Most people hid in the basements for most of the day today and last night …
