Searching the web, it looks like they just sell shoes in Russia. It's not like they run their business there.

they used to be the purveyor for the royal Danish family. the latter demanded them to stop operating in Russia after the full-blown invasion started if they want to renew the contract, and Ecco was like "nah we'll keep doing that, thanks".
