Peskov called the foreign companies that sponsored the Armed Forces of Ukraine enemies

Foreign companies that supported and financed the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are now seen as enemies of Russia. This was announced on September 6 by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"Those who financed the Armed Forces of Ukraine are the third story. And, of course, these companies have already become enemies, and they should be treated that way," Peskov told TASS at the Eastern Economic Forum (WEF-2025).

He also noted that Moscow is ready for dialogue with Western brands that have fulfilled all their obligations by leaving the Russian market. However, for those companies that acted dishonestly, returning to the Russian market will be expensive, the Kremlin spokesman added.
