Not so sweet disgrace of Mondelēz International: A descendent of Cadbury UK’s founder James Cadbury has criticized the US parent company over its continued business in Russia. As Russia completes its transition to a fully-fledged war economy, any company doing business in the country is indirectly financing its illegal invasion of Ukraine, including daily drone and missile strikes. BUkraine demands an end to ongoing corporate complicity in Russian aggression and war crimes committed in Ukraine, which currently stands at over 130K. #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar The Telegraph, Daniel Woolfson

In 2024, as #Russian war #crimes in #Ukraine surpassed 130,000, PepsiCo opened a new plant in Russia. This move came after Ukraine designated PepsiCo an International #Sponsor of #War in 2023. The backlash was immediate—PepsiCo products were dropped by the Finnish parliament and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Ironically, a Russian missile damaged a PepsiCo plant near Kyiv. What else? PepsiCo demanded that potential PR agencies in Ukraine avoid any mention of the war or support for Ukraine in future communications. In 2022, PepsiCo paid $115M in profit #tax to Russia, enough to buy seven KA-52 attack #helicopters. PepsiCo: A beloved Brand or International Sponsor of War? You decide! #B4Ukraine #LeaveRussia #Chicago #BoycottRussia #FMCG

A bar of Cadbury UK chocolate is not as innocent as one might think. Corporate taxes paid by western firms such as Mondelēz International enable Russia’s further militarization. It’s time to drop the keys and leave. It’s the only way to defund Russia’s illegal, brutal war. Dirk Van de Put #Oreo #ExitRussia #StopFundingTheWar

The Royal Family GB should follow suit and revoke support for Cadbury UK and other Mondelēz International brands. We cannot support companies producing, selling and paying huge taxes for he Russian state budget.

Western financial institutions should have been out of Russia long ago, they can be used to evade sanctions and risk finding themselves used by the Russian rogue system in their numerous financial and economic crimes. Raiffeisen Bank International AG time to make the right decision and exit Russia. #BoycottRussia #StandWithUkraine
