KitKit and Nesquik are being pulled out of Russia by Nestles
Nestle, the Swiss food giant, is withdrawing its popular brands from Russia, but will continue to offer critical commodities.
In response to the war, a rising number of Western businesses have discontinued operations in Russia, but a handful has remained.
In a live-streamed speech to demonstrators on Saturday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky chastised Nestle for continuing to do business in Russia.
As a result, the hashtag #BoycottNestle became popular on Twitter.
International brands such as McDonald’s, L’Oreal, H&M, and Apple have all discontinued or reduced their operations in Russia so far.
A small number of others continue to manufacture non-essential goods in Russia, while M&S and Burger King claim that intricate franchise arrangements prevent them from closing their stores there.
