Four top global consultancies, all with big IT practices, have quit Russia.

PwC on Sunday decided that Russia's invasion of Ukraine means it "Should not have a member firm in Russia and consequently PwC Russia will leave the network."

The firm's Russia and Belarus outposts will leave the KPMG network.

The two consultancies' decisions to quit Russia follow similar moves last week by Accenture and DXC. The four firms collectively employed 14,500 people in Russia and Belarus.

Even if the remnants of the consultancies remain afloat, they won't get the same access to vendors that makes relationships with global consultancies valuable.

In Putin's Russia, merely complaining about that will be dangerous - which is why the consultancies have left.
