Martha Raddatz and retired Col. Steve Ganyard discuss how sanctions have impacted the Russian president's inner circle and their potential effect on Putin's plans in Ukraine.
The move comes after receiving"requests from a number of governments and the EU to take further steps in relation to Russian state controlled media," Nick Clegg, the company's VP of global affairs, wrote in a tweet. Netflix also said Monday it was refusing to air Russian state TV channels in the country - something that the streamer would have been required to do by Russian law starting this week.
"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the unprovoked attack on Ukraine," the spokesman added."Our first priority over the past week has been the safety of our employees and to ensure that Spotify continues to serve as an important source of global and regional news at a time when access to information is more important than ever."
Google and YouTube have also said they will no longer allow Russian state media outlets to run ads or monetize their content.BP said Sunday it was planning to exit its 19.75% stake in Russia's biggest oil company, Rosneft, and their joint ventures - amounting to one of the biggest foreign investments in Russia.
Excellent.
