These companies have the most to lose from Russia's attack on Ukraine

International companies that hold a major presence in Russia are bracing for more sanctions from Western countries.

Russia has already paid a price for its aggression: the country's stock markets and currency have tanked this week after President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine.

Sanctions from the United States and European nations intensified Thursday as Western nations' leaders condemned Russia's actions.

Putin warned Russian business leaders on Thursday that he expected further "restrictions" on the economy, but called for business to work "in solidarity" with the government.
