Normally one would think that companies would let politicians handle stuff like this. But just some of the stories I have read.
I know that a lot of the biggest Supermarkets in Denmark and other parts of Europe are removing Russian products from their shops. (Not that its that many, but its still sends a message)
I don't think Russia expected that much backlash.

, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.

Google Maps has blocked two features in Ukraine that provide information to users in real time, the company confirmed to CNN on Sunday.
The disabled features include Google Maps' live traffic overlay — a feature some researchers have used to monitor the conflict from afar — as well as Live Busyness, a feature that displays how popular a location may be at a given time.
Google made the change in an effort to help keep Ukrainians safe and after consultations with local officials, the company said.
Traffic updates are still available in Ukraine while using Google Maps' navigation mode, Google said.

OSLO, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Norway's $1.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, will divest its Russian assets following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Norwegian prime minister said on Sunday.
The fund's Russian assets, consisting of shares in some 47 companies as well as government bonds, were worth 25 billion Norwegian crowns ($2.83 billion) at the end of 2021, down from 30 billion crowns a year earlier, the government said.
"We have decided to freeze the fund's investments and have begun a process of selling out (of Russia)," Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a news conference.

BP is to offload its 19.75% stake in Russian state-owned oil firm Rosneft after Russia's "act of aggression in Ukraine".
The oil giant had come under pressure from the UK government to make the move since Thursday's invasion.
It has held the shareholding in the Russian company since 2013.
Meanwhile, Norwegian energy giant Equinor says it will start the process of divesting from its joint ventures in Russia.
