Exit of beer producers from Russia

As UNIAN reported, after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the  Heineken  concern promised to suspend the sale of beer under the Heineken brand in Russia.

At the same time, the Danish brewing concern  Carlsberg Group also decided to stop production of beer  under the Carlsberg brand in the Russian Federation.

  1. There are certain countries that have shown not only to be friends of Ukraine but a sincere love of humanity and all that is good about it. My God the smaller the country the larger the heart and sense of what’s right and wrong. God bless all our friends especially the smaller countries where such decisions have a far large impact on them then these larger western entities. Thank you the Dutch, Danes, Brits, Poles the Baltics and others. They are not only our friends but more importantly share our values.

    Слава Україні! And these many friends

  2. After 9 years of putler’s war, they pulled out.
    The “loss” is €300m.
    But what were the profits they made since 2014?
    They can offset their losses with the 9 years profits they made in Russia, which helped to fund the putler genocide.
