French Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas leave Russia.

France's two largest banks by total assets - Crédit Agricole and BNP Paribas - are pulling out of Russia amid the country's invasion of Ukraine. Crédit Agricole added that its priority was helping to support its 2,400 employees in Ukraine, who were helping ensure essential banking activities continued despite being "struck at full force by the war."
