Russian company Kaspersky

Kaspersky Internet Security is used by thousands of users all over the world. This company also has offices all over the world but, Kaspersky is an Russian company.
There has been talk all over the internet for years about the connection to the Russian government and does this company use their software to spy on their users.
I have been using Kaspersky for years but I have now taken this software of all of my devices.
With all the sanctions against this country but Kaspersky is still trading as normal. Surely as a Russian company they shouldn't be trading with in the UK and does this need to be stopped?

some of your payments to Kaspersky ends up (via taxes) to the Russian government. with this money they can buy weapons to murder innocent Ukrainian civilians. I have removed all Kaspersky internet security apps from all my devices and would suggest that everyone with a conscience should do the same. NJB3
