Naspers subsidiary Prosus says it cannot "abandon" the 4 000 Russian employees at one of its subsidiaries, following criticism of its business by a Ukrainian Cabinet minister.
In an opinion piece published in the English-language Kyiv Post this week, Ukraine's vice prime minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, criticised Prosus for retaining its shareholding in two Russian businesses.
Prosus owns classified ads business Avito, and has a 25.7% stake in Russian internet company the VK Group.
