Yeah - that seems to be about Russia being a state sponsor of terrorism (e.g. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IP...)

But what I would like to see is a situation where companies paying tax to Russia are seen as sponsoring terrorism. It would have insane reprecussions?

Like AB InBev, Danone, Auchan, Leroy Merlin, Decathlon (last three owned by the same French family, mind you).

The list is INSANELY long.

Most multinationals seem to be operating on a "business as usual" principle in Russia.

If they all risk jail time, things will be different.

Also consider that any purchases of anything from Russia would now also be classified as sponsoring terrorism. So no more Gasprom gas :P
