Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management, said this at a press conference in Kiev, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, noting that the shares of a number of Internet companies banned in Ukraine in accordance with the decree of President Poroshenko are listed on Western stock exchanges.
“To one degree or another, most Russian companies, including Yandex, social networks, also have international owners. And a blow to these companies is a blow to the pockets and purses of Western businesses as well. I think that in the West they will not support this, because it lowers the stock market value of these companies. Yandex fell by three percent on the first day. That is, the shareholders of these companies are missing millions. We must understand this,” said the political scientist.
