JAKARTA Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to limit foreign platforms such as Microsoft and Zoom in his country. This restriction was carried out because Western companies were considered to have too much control over the market.

Putin made this statement after Stanislav Yodkovsky, the owner of the company that offers video conferencing services, discussed intense competition in the business sector. The reason is, there are still competitors such as Microsoft and Zoom who control the market.

"You have to strangling (limit operations) them. I completely agree (with the idea)," Putin said in a meeting, quoted from Business Insider on Tuesday, May 27. "I say this is shameless because they are trying to choke us too."

Yodkovsky agreed with Putin's statement. He asked the number one person in Russia to limit the activities of foreign companies, particularly Microsoft and Zoom, as they had left Russia.

Based on the results of local analysis, Yodkovsky said that international competition in local markets did not run smoothly because foreign companies were still getting customers. As a result, Western companies cost Russian companies billions of dollars.

"Batation of services that have left Russia such as Zoom and Microsoft," Yodkovsky urged. Putin responded again with a positive response.

In addition to planning to limit Western corporate services, Putin also wants to limit the habits of his people who still use foreign services. According to Putin, using Western services is a bad habit that must be stopped.
