The deal is now done!

Yandex NV has struck a 475-billion-rouble ($5.21 billion) deal to sell what has been dubbed "Russia's Google" to a group of Russian investors, marking the biggest corporate exit from the country since Moscow invaded Ukraine almost two years ago.
The Kremlin-engineered deal would see Russia's largest technology player fall entirely under Russian ownership, including a fund ultimately owned by oil major Lukoil and cement Yandex's departure from Western tech circles.

That's a chunk of change! Whew!

What effect, if any, will there be on Western markets?
