Putin says Yandex co-founder entitled to his opinion following anti-war outburst

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday described the co-founder of tech company Yandex Arkady Volozh as a "talented man" who has the right to express his opinion following an anti-war outburst he made last month.

Volozh slammed Russia's "barbaric" invasion of Ukraine days after criticism in Russia over his apparent efforts to distance himself from the country.
