- Metro Russia provided one billion rubles (about €10.9 million) for Russia’s war effort.
- A statement published Friday named communications equipment and drone-defense technology as intended uses for the funds.
- The money went to a fund run by the All-Russian National Front, a political movement founded on Putin’s initiative.
- Düsseldorf-based Metro AG distanced itself, saying support for the war conflicted with its position and business practices.
“Financing or supporting acts of war is neither in line with our position nor with the way we conduct our business.”— Metro AG said this in a statement distancing itself from the million-euro donation by its Russian subsidiary.

- The Kremlin published the decree in Moscow, naming Torg RUS as the temporary management company.
- The management covers, according to the decree, 100 percent of Metro’s assets in Russia.
- Regarding earlier decisions, the Kremlin cited governments of so-called unfriendly countries and their support for Kyiv.
- Metro remained in Russia after the war began, citing responsibility for 10,000 local employees in 2023.
The military aid from these countries is being actively used by Kyiv to strike civilian infrastructure in Russia.— Dmitri Peskow, Kremlin spokesperson, said this in the context of Western aid to Kyiv amid the Ukraine war.
