Moscow widens corporate crackdown to send message to EU
Original: 'Let them be scared': Moscow sends EU message with widening corporate crackdown
Moscow is escalating its crackdown on foreign companies operating in Russia, with officials signalling a hardening stance toward European businesses. The message from the Kremlin side was blunt — 'let them be scared' — suggesting asset seizures, forced sales and other measures will continue to widen. The escalation is being read as a deliberate warning to the EU as economic and political tensions between Moscow and Brussels deepen.
Why now: Moscow's openly defiant rhetoric and expanding measures against foreign firms signal a new, more aggressive phase in its economic confrontation with the EU.
