The latest developments on the Russia-Ukraine war : LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the leaders of the U.S. and Britain for banning Russian oil imports. “This is a powerful signal to the whole world,” he said in his daily address to the nation at the close of another day of war. “Either Russia will respect international law and not wage wars, or it will have no money.” Zelenskyy said when he went to address the British Parliament, “the scariest figure was the 50 Ukrainian children killed in 13 days of war. But then in an hour it became 52 children. I will never forgive this. And I know that you will never forgive the occupiers.” Zelenskyy called for negotiations with Russia on ending the war. “The war must be stopped. We need to sit down at the negotiating table, but for honest, substantive talks.” ____ WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Tuesday that Poland’s offer to give its MiG-29 fighter jets to the U.S. so they can be passed to Ukraine raises serious concerns for the NATO alliance and the plan is not “a tenable one.” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a statement that the prospect of jets departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace contested with Russia in the Ukraine war is concerning.

File photo: A pedestrian walks past an electronic board displaying share prices on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Tokyo on November 4, 2020. Behrouz MEHRI / AFP Tokyo stocks slumped Tuesday as surging oil prices and the Russia-Ukraine crisis continued to drag down global markets. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index dropped 1.71 percent, or 430.46 points, to 24,790.95, while the broader Topix index gave up 1.90 percent, or 34.17 points, to 1,759.86. The dollar fetched 115.52 yen, up from 115.27 yen in New York Monday. The Tokyo market opened in negative territory, tracking falls on Wall Street, although bargain-hunters temporarily lifted the Nikkei above water by mid-morning. But Russia’s intensifying assault on Ukraine continued to weigh on the market, with many investors already jittery about taking risks as they braced for possible further losses on Wall Street later in the day. “Particularly in the afternoon session, investors increased their wariness about rising oil prices, and the Nikkei again extended its losses,” Okasan Online Securities said. “Near the closing bell, the index was hovering near the intra-day low,” the brokerage added.

A growing number of Western businesses are either halting operations in Russia or exiting altogether over that country’s military incursion of neighboring Ukraine. The major hit to Russia’s economy will likely come from the crucial oil and gas industry. British-based BP announced Sunday that it is divesting its $14 billion stake in Russian state-owned oil and gas company Rosneft. Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden of Britain-based Shell Oil Company issued an apology Tuesday for buying Russian crude oil last week, and said it would end all of its operations in Russia, including pipeline gas and liquid natural gas. Shell previously announced it was abandoning its joint venture with state-owned Gazprom and the now-suspended Nord Stream 2 pipeline, built to carry natural gas from Russia to western Europe. Japanese automakers Toyota and Nissan have announced plans to suspend production at their plants in the western port city of St. Petersburg and end all vehicle exports to Russia.

PwC And KPMG Cut Business Ties To Russia And Belarus Even America''s "Big Four" consulting giants are cutting business ties with Russia. According to the FT , the decision by both PwC and KPMG to exit their Russian business marks "the most significant departure by global professional services groups since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The decision will likely inspire rivals Deloitte and EY to follow suit. "Everyone knows the game is up in terms of being able to retain a network firm in Russia," said an insider at one Big Four firm. As a reminder, PwC operates a global network of locally owned firms. So, it''s technically cutting ties with the Russian member of this network, which has some 3,700 partners and staff across 11 locations in the country (along with an office of 25 in Belarus). Fortunately for the employees, the network members will continue to operate as standalone businesses with no ties to the mothership. Technically, the local network firms in each country are owned collectively by the partners using the (some might call it old fashioned) partnership structure.

PwC and KPMG have severed ties with their businesses in Russia and Belarus, thus becoming the first Big Four accounting firms to exit the countries since the invasion of Ukraine. The moves are the most significant departures from Russia by global professional services groups since the war in Ukraine started last month and are likely to increase pressure on their peers, Deloitte and EY, to follow suit. PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which operates a global network of locally owned firms, said it was cutting ties with its Russian member, which has 3,700 partners and staff across 11 locations in the country, as well as its 25-strong office in Belarus. They indicated that businesses will continue to operate as standalone entities with no official link to the global brand. PwC’s newly independent Russian and Belarusian operations will be renamed and be free to continue working for local clients as well as serving international companies with operations in the countries, the company revealed in it’s statement.
