 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Nearly 1,400 companies, including many of the most internationally recognisable brands, have since February 2022 announced that they would cease or dial back their operations in Russia in protest of Moscow’s military aggression against Ukraine. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox But two years after the invasion, many of these companies’ products are still widely sold in Russia, in many cases in violation of Western-led sanctions, a months-long investigation by Al Jazeera has found.

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Aided by the Russian government’s legalisation of parallel imports, Russian businesses have established a network of alternative supply chains to import restricted goods through third countries. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox The companies that make the products have been either unwilling or unable to clamp down on these unofficial distribution networks. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine prompted an international backlash that, by some estimates, resulted in the country becoming the most sanctioned in the world.

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Russia also experienced a huge voluntary exodus of brands, comparable in scale only to the boycott of South Africa that was credited with hastening the fall of apartheid. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox More than 1,300 companies announced they would exit Russia or curtail their operations there, according to a tally by the Yale School of Management.

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Russia’s economy, however, has weathered the pressure campaign better than expected and there is a growing acknowledgement that the expectations sanctions would bring Moscow to heel were misplaced.

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) declined by only 2.1 percent in the first year of the war, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – compared with a predicted 8.5 percent contraction – and has been growing ever since. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox How many foreign students go to the US each year?

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox During the 2023-2024 academic year, the number of international students in US institutions grew to an all-time high of 1.13 million, according to the annual Open Doors report from the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the US State Department. This number marks a 6.6 percent increase in the number of international students enrolled in US colleges and universities from the year before. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox Which countries do these students come from?

 TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox According to the Open Doors report, 71.5 percent of the international students enrolled in the US between 2023 and 2024 were from Asia. TrumphasopenedaPandorasbox India was the top source, with 331,602 students from the country enrolled in US universities. Following India was China, which sent 277,398 students to the US. In third place is South Korea, which sent 43,149 students to the US.
