Last year, the major Western
banks that remained in Russia paid the Kremlin more than 800
million euros in taxes, four times the pre-war level. According
to the Financial Times, the taxes paid, which account for 0.4%
of Russian non-energy-related revenues in 2024, demonstrate how
foreign companies that remain in the country help the Kremlin
maintain financial stability in the face of sanctions.
