Western firms reportedly paid at least $46 billion in taxes to Russia amid full-scale war in Ukraine
Western companies have paid at least 40 billion euros ($46 billion) in taxes to Russia over the past three years, according to an investigation by investigative outlet Follow the Money published on June 10. This figure represents almost one-third of Russia's defense budget for 2025. Seventeen of the 20 largest foreign corporate taxpayers in Russia come from G7 and EU countries, Ukraine's main international supporters, the investigative outlet wrote, citing an earlier report by the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) and the B4Ukraine association. Foreign firms still operating in Russia represent a crucial lifeline for Russia's war chest amid Western sanctions and skyrocketing war expenditures. Earlier reports by KSE said that only 472 of over 4,000 foreign companies have withdrawn from Russia after the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022, while 1,360 have scaled down their operations. Austrian bank Raiffeisen remains the largest European payer of corporate taxes in Russia, with 457 million euros ($522 million) paid only in 2023. Philip Morris tobacco company, PepsiCo, UniCredit Bank, Mars, and other Western business giants have also continued filling Russian coffers, even though Western governments have donated some $170 billion in military aid to Ukraine to face Russian aggression, according to the investigation. The firms provided various explanations for their continued presence in Russia. Some argued that their products are essential for Russian consumers, while others cited concern for the safety of their employees, the outlet reported. Follow the Money also noted that Russia makes it difficult for companies to exit its market, for example, by allowing them to sell their assets only at extremely low prices. Companies that have decided to leave the market reportedly had to pay over $170 billion in write-offs and exit taxes. Russia has previously directly seized assets of some companies that had remained in the country. Russian President Vladimir Putin called for punitive action against Western companies still operating in Russia, saying they must be "strangled" in response to what he described as Western attempts to suffocate the Russian economy. Despite the rhetoric, Russia continues to explore paths for re-engagement with foreign businesses. In February, Putin instructed his government to prepare for the eventual return of Western firms. Still, no formal requests have been received from companies seeking re-entry, according to Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and former president.

American Pyrotechnics Association Urges Tariff Exemption to Sustain Fireworks Supply Chain and Support Community Traditions
SOUTHPORT, N.C., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the nation prepares for Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of its founding in 2026, the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) is highlighting serious concerns regarding shifting tariff rates that threaten the viability of small fireworks businesses and the broader supply chain that supports American celebrations. The current tariff at 30% threatens to shutter small fireworks businesses nationwide and could undermine preparations for America's 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026. The Situation: U.S. fireworks companies rely almost entirely on China, which produces 99% of consumer fireworks and 90% of professional display fireworks. A combined tariff burden initially reached 145% under overlapping trade rules. Although that rate has recently fluctuated, the current level remains unmanageable for most industry operators. Fireworks are a seasonal, highly regulated, and culturally significant product with no viable domestic manufacturing alternative at scale. APA is urging the Trump administration and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to consider a tariff exemption or a more manageable tariff rate for fireworks. A similar exemption granted in 2019 recognized the unique characteristics of the industry and its reliance on a single source of supply. APA believes renewed relief would help stabilize supply chains for the next several seasons and allow the industry to manage through current challenges. Impact on Small Businesses and CommunitiesThe fireworks industry is largely composed of small, family-owned companies. These businesses: Operate on limited seasonal revenues, concentrated in the weeks surrounding July 4th and New Year's. Serve rural and suburban areas, partnering with nonprofits, faith-based groups, and civic organizations. Often provide fundraising platforms for local charities through retail stand partnerships, with proceeds supporting community programs. Must comply with stringent federal regulations and face high insurance and storage costs that limit operational flexibility. The tariffs were levied so late in the preparation for the 2025 Fourth of July season that many businesses were not contractually able to pass on the increase in cost to consumers. If the administration maintains a 30% tariff on fireworks imports, the industry will be compelled to pass these increased costs on to consumers, mirroring actions taken by other sectors. Supply Chain Challenges Uncertainty around continued access to Chinese supply, where over 99% of consumer fireworks and 90% of professional display fireworks are sourced, has already disrupted production, as manufacturers were forced to halt production and shipments. Tariff-related costs are compounding existing shipping, insurance, and logistics pressures. Many Professional Fireworks Display Companies are locked into long-term contracts and cannot raise prices to offset unexpected cost surges. Consumer sellers and professional display companies are actively exploring alternative supply options, but no feasible substitutes exist in the near term. Relief would allow time to pursue diversified sourcing while ensuring celebrations continue uninterrupted. APA's PositionAPA respectfully seeks: A sector-specific exemption or reduced tariff level to allow fireworks importers to maintain operations during a challenging economic period. Recognition that this request is not political, but rooted in the economic reality facing seasonal, safety-regulated small businesses. "Fireworks are an iconic part of America's celebration of freedom," said Julie L. Heckman, APA Executive Director. "This isn't about politics. It's about making sure communities can continue to celebrate while giving small businesses a path forward through supply chain challenges." About the American Pyrotechnics AssociationThe APA is the leading trade association of the fireworks industry. The APA supports and promotes safety standards for all aspects of fireworks. The APA has a diverse membership including regulated and licensed manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, importers, suppliers, and professional display fireworks companies.
