Yandex, the Russian search and technology titan, has made an attempt to keep up with its Western competitors in recent years, developing its own smart gadgets, self-driving cars, as well as its own food delivery and ride-sharing services, among other items. However, according to The New York Times, the West’s sanctions against its own country during the invasion of Ukraine have made it hard to continue building and enhancing its initiatives. That is why Yandex’s parent company, based in Amsterdam, is apparently considering selling and cutting relations with Russia.
