The Americans are withdrawing

The Match Group company owns many dating apps, and in addition to Tinder, it also owns e.g. Hinge and PlentyOfFish.

Jeff Perkins, director of Friends Fiduciary, one of the main shareholders of Match Group, pointed out that companies whose success depends on the reputation and trust of customers have an additional reason to leave Russia. –

Staying in a country whose leader is being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court would not put them in a very favorable light

Perkins was quoted by Reuters as saying.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin in March, accusing him of the war crime of forcibly deporting thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia.
