That seems like a mistake. Although I'm no longer a customer as I don't like their clothes anymore, I'd boycott it now

I wrote previously that a very known fast food company also left their shops open, but that has just changed, after a lot of public pressure.

Situation changed - post was therefore irrelevant.

Why not just say which one? It's not Thailand, they are not going to sue you.

Originally I did, but that was old news in this fast moving conflict.

 

It was McDonald's, and after a full assault on them from NYC comptroller, Twitter brigade and shamed on LinkedIn (and probably others), McDonald's yesterday announced they are suspending all business in Russia. The other 2 that announced the same after similar attacks were Starbucks and Coca Cola.

 

Pepsi, Unilever and Yum foods (owner of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, etc.) have taken a more selective approach where some products will be pulled, but locally produced products, mainly dairy and food products, will remain.
