Moscow widens corporate crackdown in message to EU
Original: ‘Let them be scared’: Moscow sends EU message with widening corporate crackdown
Russian authorities are expanding their seizure and pressure campaigns against foreign and corporate assets, with officials signalling a deliberately aggressive posture toward European business interests. The phrase 'Let them be scared' captures Moscow's stated intent to make clear to the EU that further sanctions or asset freezes will be met with escalating retaliation against companies still operating in or tied to Russia.
Why now: Tensions between Moscow and Brussels are escalating over mutual asset seizures and sanctions, making each new corporate measure front-page news.
