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 .

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.

Missing from that explanation, though, is a story about material reality and basic economics—two things that Putin seems to understand far better than his counterparts in the free world and especially in Europe.

While Russia holds the military advantage over Ukraine on Battlefield One, it is getting destroyed by a Western alliance on Battlefield Two. In the past few days, the United States and several major European countries have declared a series of financial penalties and sanctions against Russia that are without modern precedent for a major economy. These policies are triggering a financial catastrophe in Russia. Getting a proper grip on the second battlefield requires breaking down the news of the past several days into three categories: the global boycott of Russia, the economic crisis within Russia, and the worldwide ripple effects that we’re already starting to see.
