Article analysis:

The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides factual information about Philip Morris International's (PMI) efforts to exit the Russian market and cites sources such as The Financial Times and PMI executive director Jacek Olczak. However, there are some potential biases present in the article which could affect its trustworthiness. For example, the article does not provide any counterarguments or explore any other possible solutions for PMI's situation other than exiting the Russian market. Additionally, there is no mention of any risks associated with leaving the Russian market or any potential consequences for PMI's shareholders or customers. Furthermore, while the article does provide some background information on PMI's plans to leave Russia, it does not provide any evidence or data to support these claims or explain why this decision was made in the first place. Finally, while it is clear that PMI is attempting to exit the Russian market, there is no mention of what other companies are doing in this regard or how their strategies may differ from PMI's approach. In conclusion, while this article provides some useful information about PMI's efforts to leave Russia, it could benefit from providing more evidence and exploring alternative solutions and perspectives on this issue.
