Russo Ukrainian War
Ukraine has designates PepsiCo and the Mars candy company as :international war sponsors" due to their continued operations, and continued tax payments in and to Russia since the start of the Russo Ukrainian War.
PepiCo has operated in Russia, if you consider the USSR its predecessor, since 1974, as opposed to Coca-Cola which did not until 1985. It has nineteen plants in the company and employs 20,000 people directly, and 40,000 agricultural employees indirectly. It's Russia' fourth largest food and beverage company. Since the war started, it's net profits have increased by 333%.
Mars profits have increased 59% since the start of the war.
