American firms in Russia paid the country $1.2 billion in profit taxes in 2023, according to figures from campaign group B4Ukraine and the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Institute shared exclusively with Newsweek.

I was curious too. It looks like all of the sanctions are for inports from russia, and freezing russian assets that are not in russia. There are a lot of companies that have pulled operations from Russia, but there doesn't seem to be any requirement to do so.
