A Russian subsidiary of Microsoft Corp. $MSFT has filed for bankruptcy, according to an official filing on Russia’s public registry, Fedresurs, dated Friday. This development marks a formal legal step in the tech giant’s continued disengagement from the Russian market following geopolitical tensions and increasing state-led restrictions on foreign software providers.

Bayer has once again found itself at the center of high-profile news related to its herbicide Roundup. Last Friday, the company announced that it had refiled a request with the US Supreme Court to sharply limit litigation claims alleging that Roundup causes cancer, measures aimed at preventing potentially multi-billion-dollar losses. In its statement published on the "opens a new tab" platform, Bayer insists that consumers should not have the right to sue under state law for failing to warn that Roundup increases the risk of cancer. This position is supported by the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States has not identified such risks, nor does it mandate additional warnings beyond those approved on the official EPA label.
