Siemens will exit the Russian market

It started proceedings to wind down industrial operations & all industrial business activities

With start of Russia's war, all new business in and international deliveries to Russia & Belarus on hold

press.siemens.com/global/en/pres…
Let's take a moment to appreciate how @Siemens enabled Russia's war by breaking sanctions

1️⃣ #SiemensGate: in 2017, it delivered 4 gas turbines and solved Putin's power problems in occupied Crimea but claimed it didn't know they went there (full 🎥⬇️)
euromaidanpress.com/2017/08/10/eye…
In 2017, @Siemens claimed it was duped by its 🇷🇺partner with Crimea turbine scandal. BUT:
🔹secret deal with shady partner
🔹absurd business logic
🔹turbines "mismatched" to a station never planned 2B built
🔹no prevention mechanism
prove it was deliberate
