[1/2] The logo of Russian technology giant Yandex is on display at the company's headquarters in Moscow, Russia December 9, 2022. Maksut Shadaev, the head of Russia's ministry of digital affairs, told parliament in December that around 100,000 IT specialists had left Russia in 2022. It is not yet clear whether Volozh's comments may have any bearing on how Russia decides to proceed with the company. One of the sources said "hawks" in state companies believed nothing at all should be paid to foreigners. Two sources said VTB had never been a serious option as a buyer, given sanctions on the state lender.

A cofounder of Russian internet company Yandex has come out against his country's war in Ukraine. Arkady Volozh, a billionaire who now resides in Israel, had refrained from public criticism. Few Russians of such elite economic status have openly come out against the Ukraine War. In particular, the EU accused Volozh's company of promoting Russian state narratives in its search results, according to the BBC. In a statement on Thursday, Volozh said he is personally "horrified" by Russia's war in Ukraine and the plight of Ukrainians "whose houses are being bombed every day," the Financial Times reported.
