Russian authorities have seized over $100 million from Google's Moscow bank accounts, according to court filings in the U.S. This action, which took place in 2022, coincided with the onset of the conflict in Ukraine.

The move has been widely reported as part of Russia's broader strategy to fund its war machine.
