In a speech streamed to protesters in Switzerland, Ukraine's president singles out Swiss food company for refusing to exit.

"'Good food. Good life.' This is the slogan of Nestle. Your company that refuses to leave Russia. Even now — when there are threats from Russia to other European countries. Not only to us. When there is even nuclear blackmail from Russia," he said.

Zelenskyy's remarks echoed comments last week by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, who in a tweet blasted Nestle CEO Mark Schneider over his company's stance on doing business in Russia. The Swiss company earlier this month stopped shipments of non-essential items to Russia, but continues to sell things like baby food, cereal and pet food in the country.

"Unfortunately, he shows no understanding," Shmyhal said of Nestle's chief executive."Paying taxes to the budget of a terrorist country means killing defenseless children&mothers. Hope that Nestle will change its mind soon."CEO Mr. Mark Schneider about the side effect of staying in Russian market. Unfortunately, he shows no understanding. Paying taxes to the budget of a terrorist country means killing defenseless children&mothers.

"We are doing whatever we can in Ukraine and neighboring countries to help alleviate this humanitarian catastrophe," the spokesperson added."We are still one of the few active food companies in Ukraine and sometimes even manage to distribute food in Kharkiv."

When everyone receives products made by Chinese slaves in concentration camps , it makes this article frivolous.

Nestle ?

I admit its not easy to find a product where there is no moral or environmental dilemma. At the same time any tights with Putin’s neo-nazi regime are hardly justifiable by any exceptions when this regime is intentionally killing civilians, deporting people and destroying cities.

Nestle is one of a number of companies that have suspended new investment and advertising in Russia but that continue to sell products there, according to a list by Yale University management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.

That’s Nestle 👉🏻 please have a read BoycottNestle

Zelensky is still receiving money for transiting Russian gas and is advising others to stop business. This guy is lost in reality.

We have boycotted everything Nestle since their CEO said nobody has the right to clean drinking water unless they have bottled it
