I'm not lovin' it. @McDonalds is continuing to do business as normal in Russia, which means the corporate and sales taxes it pays there DIRECTLY support Putin's illegal and murderous war in Ukraine. #BoycottMcDonalds
This isn't a situation where reasonable people can differ. The invasion of Ukraine is unprovoked illegal Russian aggression and Western companies should not contribute to financing it even indirectly. And yes of course, oil & gas purchases from Russia by the West should stop too.
Putin denies the Russian people access to non-propaganda news sources, and it's fair to assume that many Russian people lack a true understanding of what's happening. The disappearance of ALL Western brands from their streets is one way of alerting them to the unfolding disaster.
