List: These are the companies boycotting Russia
LOS ANGELES - Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine invasion last month, many corporations have ceased operations in Russia in protest.
These included major global brands and symbols of U.S. corporations such as McDonald's Starbucks, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and General Electric - all of whom have already announced they were temporarily suspending their business in Russia in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
"Companies doing business in Russia need to seriously consider whether it’s worth the risk. As investors, we want assurances that our holdings are not in harm's way," New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said Tuesday in a statement. "I commend the companies that are taking the right steps and suspending their operations in Russia."
Nationwide, thousands are thought to have been killed, both civilians and soldiers, in the two weeks of fighting since Putin’s forces invaded.
