MFA: More than 220 foreign companies have already left Russian market

“More than 220 companies have already left the Russian market. Their number is growing every day. At present, the list of those who have stopped working in Russia is so long that it has become almost impossible to fit them all into a standard-sized image,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine posted on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

As reported, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on consumers to boycott large international companies that had not yet left the Russian market.

On March 18, Mykhailo Podolyak, Adviser to the Head of the President's Office, said that international companies Danone, Nestle, Unilever and P&G stayed in Russia and paid taxes there, thereby financing the war against Ukraine.

On February 24, Russian president Putin announced the beginning of a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy infrastructure, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine, and general mobilization was announced.
