Finnish authorities in late August - early September froze local assets of Yandex based on the inclusion of its co-founder Arkady Volozh in the EU sanctions list, the local newspaper Helsingin Sanomat reported, citing sources. In Finland, Yandex operates the transport service Yango and has a data center in Mänsälä. Helsingin Sanomat notes that the asset freeze is unlikely to have a direct impact on the company's activities. A Yandex spokesman declined to comment.
