from boucher and april more and more ukrainians, flee the country to day. the number sense at 8000000 refugees ukrainian businesses follow suit. many continue their work from abroad. europe reacts to the war with the most far reaching and severe sanctions in history. many western companies hold business with moscow. russia retaliates with an energy war 1st, by reducing its gas exports to germany, then i completely cutting deliveries. meanwhile, the situation on the ground is stalling, and january 2023, a group of western states commits to sending hundreds of tanks to support ukraine and the ongoing fighting of the 8000000 refugees who had to flee the war. many are from car keefe. ukraine's 2nd biggest city is located only an hour away from the russian border. before the war car keith was the cranes tech hub and home to more than 450. i. t companies from february until may 2022. it was under constant
6:33 am
bombardment today. harkey continues to be targeted by rockets, but even without its tech hotspot, ukraine's i t sector is persevering. my tuttleton sca found out how natalia said omaha would normally be in khaki in east and ukraine. that's where some members of her team of programmers and software developers are still working. but because of the war, she is now working in krakow and neighboring poland. before getting down to work, she starts every day by checking in on her colleagues, english crane with the all keep doing all robust we understand that we have to outperform, to make sure that the are are successful and be able to support our country. you know? yeah. i just wanted to show you a one of best friends of these days like,
6:34 am
oh my god, i have the same. i don't have electricity right now, but the, the generator is working. the star link is working to also had chance for all of the guys to go to the office to recharge the mobile devices. so there is almost no lawson but there is some problems in here with the city and water, for example, at my home. but there is no problem in office. so out by the game, stew, or his to keep or today and yesterday all. so here is the light. here's the coffee. so we keep going and we're still resilience stronger like over ukrainians. who this is how he's shortly after the 1st rush and ass strikes back in march. much of the city is still without power or phone service. telecom
6:35 am
employees now working from abroad are doing their best to help people still, they're not a problem or not. our main problem at the moment has to do with power outages and a loss of connectivity. we can't always reach our staff, but most of our people are working in her keith. and we just don't know if they're safe or not. or joseph beth. oh alice tricked jayvon has been back to the city 3 times to help on her 1st visit, she saw what the russian forces had done to her own home. these images were taken in may of this year at her house in a suburb of hi keith. several months later, she returned
6:36 am
after the final battles and the withdrawal of the russian forces. all that was left of her home was a burnt out shell. her colleagues now have the tough job of repairing, destroyed internet cables. because there's no power they often have to use battery operated flashlights to do their work. the internet is a link with the outside world. and that's crucial both for hi here. residents and companies still operating from their protective helmets and bullet proof vests are now part of the technicians basic equipment. before the war, ukraine was home to a thriving h t sector, employing some 250000 people. the sector is still strong,
6:37 am
even manage and growth of 23 percent this year. despite the war, ukraine's hospitals are among the beneficiaries of the tech sector. we in west and the nate, a lot in defense of congress. so we benito argue we id be within a while than one really younger, even us. and we continue to do it. back in krakow, poland software developer, natalia said, or martha has found an apartment, her children own school, and they're learning polish. and yet they're keenly aware of being refugees. son did not express to lot. oh, i saw he grew up over night and uh for daughter, it was a big stress. how much of question was. why, why? what me did wrong? like what i did wrong. why i lost everything. why? i don't how my friends me all come
6:38 am
a snail straight. a smell, always having a home with him on the back. we all are having a small p thought. you claim. hark you. like i have been kind of on my bark, even though i'm here. i'm still in hurricane if i'm still in ukraine. as governments have been re examining their ties, was russia, businesses have been forced to do the same massive pressure from investors and consumers has meant that many western companies have started to unwind their investments, closed stores, and pause sales and russia. the world's largest technology company. apple is one of them. energy companies like shelby p and exxon mobil also cut ties. folks, ogden mercedes, have completely pulled out of the country. they've stopped exporting cars to russia
6:39 am
and also closed all their russian productions. shortly after the start of the war, streaming service, netflix went on offline and russia as well. but by far not all companies are following the boycott, wave german personal care rent media, for example, still stalks russian stores. it stated that russians still need access to medical products. many pharma companies are arguing with the same moral dilemma, including bio, other international chains like burger king have remained involuntarily their contractual obligations don't allow for complete exit from russia. so despite public pressure is to boycott, what transpires in reality is a different picture. leaving russia is far from the status quo, and fact only 9 percent of western companies have caught ties with the country, according to with, with study. this begs the question, are thank jones against moscow, ineffective sanctions. we'll,
6:40 am
we can brushes economy so it will run out of money for its war in ukraine. that was the west palm over a 1000 russians the sanctioned. and the country spanks banned from international payments systems. so how is russia's economy fairing? the i m f says it will grow this year even more than germany's all the sanctions, not working experts, i'll divide, it gets into it and say, after close to a year, we find we reached the stage where our efforts to impede how the war is financed. are slowly starting to kick in, and i have in schism in general, at least for the next one or 2 lawyers. the situation won't prove critical for the russian government. mister tish, china plays a key role. it is refused to impose sanctions and is replacing western imports on a large scale. one 3rd of all russia's imports now come from china.
6:41 am
she never me island calls and unlike european countries in china was never a big investor in russia. the chinese would like to export more to russia was an export, but as for them, stepping in to fill the gap to support russian industry. now i have my doubts, obviously. rather, it's a way for russia to limit the direct effects of the sanctions limited, but it is neither a sustainable future model nor substitute for the west kinds of come. so they don't kind of fit in this. and then there's armenia, which is shipping electronic devices, including smartphones to russia on mass since the sanctions began armenian exports of electronic goods to russia have tripled. thanks to trading partners who refused to participate in the sanctions. so technically, it's not illegal. wilson is naturally, i'm going in, i'm gonna, and they, of course, russia belongs to a world that is ultimately bigger than the coalition of states. imposing sanctions within those states comprise of a big part of the global economy. and to count for half of the world's g d p,
6:42 am
the more but there's also the other hands and some of them held back at 1st i, they asthma now they're looking pretty hard to identify gaps in the russian market . they can fill out the hemoglobin is almost done in dimensionals and can still high tech good site. microchips hardly find their way to russia as a saw. does it are true that components were missing? sharon, for example, automakers, assembly line stood still for months on average. now, cars are being produced without bags in some cases, but there's also a big shortage of chips which indicates that good precise ammunition can't be produced any more. and that affects the construction of modern battle. thanks to dan camp. pants and owls, the russian economy could slowly hemorrhage due to sanctions like the new oil price cap, which imposes a price ceiling on russia's major export oil society. and that the import ups of, instead of cutting off imports because they're now trying to cut off the money that
6:43 am
pays for those employers via wherever they're coming from life as the in the long term. that's the more promising a strategy. but only in the long term, because russia went into this war in very good shape, both in terms of its trade balance and its budget plans on. and it's going to take a few years to push russia from this very stable situation to one where they're under pressure shopping. hot enables done and at allstate. but how long can the west maintain? it sounds, especially as it will also need billions of dollars to sustain ukraine for years to come. well, the west eventually grow weary of sanctions. given high inflation at home is lowered his answer. yes, i think sanctions fatigue is partly related to inflated expectations about their efficacy. and if any ostensible successes fail to materialize, then of course public support to pay the price for these sanctions. also, thanks high at the same time, it's important to note that the economic restrictions we're seeing here are still
6:44 am
much smaller than those the russian people are dealing with as that. so medieval, such of effect on english so which side will demonstrate the greatest staying power in the long run? europe, sanctions against russia are the most far reaching and severe in the blocks history . and the restrictions aren't just sitting moscow. businesses across europe are also feeling that economic warfare that includes germany's mechanical engineering sector until recently. russia was one of its biggest clients. but last year, trade with the country decreased by half. these machines build crank shafts for cars and railroad wheels. some where as much as one and a half tons, milling drilling and grinding accurate to within $100.00 of a millimeter. these machines built at the nile simmons factory in the eastern german city of kenneth usually cost several $1000000.00 euros each. c,
6:45 am
e o class klemmer cells, the systems around the world before the war in ukraine. many of his contracts came from russian companies, especially the railroad sector. the sanctions ended that practically over night. he suddenly had to find new contracts to retain his 350 employees. you're, if you're only if we're talking about roughly 10 to 15 percent of our revenue, we quickly had to change our entire strategy, our main markets now in north america and europe with a larger presence in germany. again finished our gov. we don't invoke, we used to export 80 percent of our products. that's changed a lot. now it's more like 5050 log deal through them through simply the real problem can be clearly seen outside of the factory on the company grounds. huge crates, lots of them, packed and weather proof, materials finished products worth nearly 10000000 euros. there the 2nd half of an incomplete russian order inside the production manager is inspecting some more of
6:46 am
the crates. the question is whether the company will be able to deliver the order to russia in the foreseeable future. gardener will be these machines have been hanging around the assembly hall for almost a year now. but we need to make space to process our 2023 orders by, by so we put them outside in packaging, usually reserved for c voyage routing machine ausa. however, many businesses in the cabinets region have similar problems, whether they're small to mid sized companies or international corporations. cabinets, formerly known as karl mark city during the g d. r, is a machine building regent with traditionally close ties to the former soviet union . the kenneth chamber of industry and commerce as c. e o kristof neu bag says that most companies have been able to compensate for the loss of russian orders. the sanctions hadn't caused a major slump in the foreign trade statistics that it is forbidden the stomach.
6:47 am
this is of course, thanks to major efforts by individual companies to open up a new market. soiled up new customer basis wouldn't love to bowl. that's why everything looks fine statistically is as that's a his but at an individual company level things are of course, much harder. we've written emma is a saturday than with on her fish renal and ny back noticed something else. some companies now see the rebuilding of ukraine as a potentially huge opportunity or even if no one knows when the war there will end turn yet as you caught humans, ukraine is really interesting in the sense that a lot of western aid and reconstruction fans or car already going their eyes and bows. acoya on, for example, in construction to rebuild or repair it's damaged. infrastructure are also based on our emo, but there's also a lot of investment in the health sector and even other areas of public service,
6:48 am
em renada hippy embassy to one shot the machine makers at castle stine are also interested in ukraine. but as long as the bullets are still flying, c e. o jens kito dine refuses to send any of his 45 employees into a war zone. hazel stein's equipment purchases, wires accurate to within $100.00 of a millimeter. the company is the world market leader. when the sanctions were imposed almost a year ago, eons kito dime was working on an order for a russian customer with half a 1000000 euros. he ended up having to pay 100000 years and cancellation fees since then. keith holstein has developed new business ties in brazil and feel free to no longer connect to new markets. you have to meet certain requirements of those markets as the much broader language plays a huge role. of course that will at the moment we don't have anyone in house who speaks portuguese. so you also need to partner with someone over there. and those
6:49 am
relationships need to be cultivated. you can let known this young fool young, and then you have to make completely new investments trainings, business trips, fact finding trips and inviting customers that we were fortunate to hold and international industry trade fair in dusseldorf. last summer, those little brazilian customers were at the fair. that's how our business relationship began to shift on volume and incentives in the machine builders at niles. simmons are now trying to rebuild the expense of machinery that was slated for russia so they can be used for a new order. this way. the machines can still be sold to other customers while europe is betting on sanctions, russia is weapon, ising oil and gas in august 2020 to put in stop delivering natural gas through the north stream. one pipeline, at the time, one megawatt hour of gas cost, $350.00 euros in germany. before the war,
6:50 am
the price was between 10 and 20 euros. since then, miler than expected winter temperatures, relax prices to day one, megawatt hour of gas costs. 50 euro's that's good news over all. but for energy intensive businesses, it still far too high. oh, when the price of electric energy threatens the company's existence. i other than again, it's a very demanding time for us. everything were permanently in battle mode. come from rural businesses have to find new ways to survive. i didn't know if i and we're still in the middle of a fossil fuel war and the price is very, very high. the high energy costs are a huge concern for this company. director. more than 15 percent of his total expenses go to energy that several 1000000 euros per year. we're going from florida
6:51 am
even before this crisis, we had the highest energy prices in europe. and now they've sort again at the height of the crisis. they went up 6 fold physics, subtle, now that the market is comp somewhat democratize. we're now at about 3 and a half times the original price lankson that's still very high and a big concern for the manufacturing company. it produces raw materials used by the chemical and cosmetics industries. materials like these exfoliating beads are used in many well known brands. the german government will subsidize electricity bills from march to help ease the pressure on small and medium sized companies like volley. for them, the subsidy will amount to around 40 percent of energy costs are dead when this program ends in 2024 or the government won't be able to afford another 1000000000 euro package like it. so we are hoping the energy prices will have fallen again by then deposit this time the,
6:52 am
the root come. does the government's relief package only represent a brief respite? it's very hard to say how energy prices will change either all saudi a comfort is one of germany's leading energy experts. she thinks energy prices will continue to be influenced by the ukraine war. to lack of it that expect to see any sign of the price is easy as long as we're in the middle of it. well, that's why we have to make a clear distinction. fossil fuels of expense, if we have to shift away from them. other forms of energy far cheaper and they could colace prices to folic and in future. those other energy sources include bio gas, which is made from slurry vol. they has built itself a bio gas plant where it produces its own cheaper electricity. grandma 9 of us and we have invested in a bio gas plant which allows us to produce 50 percent of our own power. we want to expand this and we will also invest in photovoltaics and would pallet heating to
6:53 am
prepare for a carbon neutral energy supply? the company also stabilizes foodstuffs like pumpkin seeds. the process uses steam, which makes it very energy intensive. until energy prices are lower, it's all about cutting costs as much as possible. grammar. we have changed our shift system from a 7 day system to a 5 day one. we've cut energy use wherever possible workers. we have turned down our heating in our offices and are taking all the measures we can to use as little energy as possible. we've also trained our staff to be mindful about energy use, but not only at work also, but also at home or mutual balance in the form of i'll provide them to do. in addition, the company needs to cut production costs, including staff. that's the only way it will be able to compete internationally in the long term against competitors who's energy costs are usually far lower.
6:54 am
