Bacardi has been making a killing in Russia throughout the ongoing conflict
Ukraine has classified the spirits company Bacardi as an “international war sponsor” because it continues to operate in Russia.
Data from the Russian Federal Tax Service recently showed that the company’s profits more than tripled in the country last year.
The data showed that in 2022, Bacardi’s Russian subsidiary Bacardi Rus LLC increased its profits to 4.7 billion rubles (€43.7 million), up from 1.5 billion rubles a year earlier.
The company has even strengthened its position in the country as several of its major competitors have withdrawn from Russia, the Ukrainian authorities said.
“Thus, Bacardi Limited continues to pay significant taxes to Russia’s budget, support its economy, and sponsor aggression against Ukraine,” the Kyiv anti-corruption agency said.
Yet another sponsor of genocide that needs boycotting. This is from Wikipedia.
“In March 2022, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bacardi announced that it would halt all exports to Russia and freeze investment and advertising programs. Instead of keeping this promise, the company increased its exports to Russia and tripled its profits. As of summer 2023, Bacardi went on increasing its business in Russia and looking for new employees for its Russian branch. When the broken promise of Bacardi gained international media attention, the pledge disappeared from their company website.”
Cunts!
Here is Kuleba’s shitlist of scum companies contributing to putler’s genocide. Top 50 brands :
Bacardi have their HQ on Bermuda, which is a British Island as far as I know. It’s time the British government had a word with this sponsor of terrorism.
Not sure how they ended up in Hamilton, but it’s a private company owned by fucking Cubans.
As far as I know, only one British company is in on this murder racket: Unilever.
They are a highly respected blue chip fmcg multinational, so their shame is great.
They need to be taxed until their pips squeak.

It seems that list has every freakin pharmaceutical company in the world. These SOBs will argue they’re providing medicine to the civilian population. Whether they are or not I don’t see anyway that they will stop. Personally I say let every fuckin orc needs to drop dead and unless these pharmacy companies are shipping hemlock or arsenic they are scum sucking asses. All that said, sadly, embargoes on these pharma complies will not work. Need to keep the pressure on but my focus would be on the other companies.
It’s not just Bacardi. I read an article on danish national news recently. It appears that ALL western goods are available in ruSSian discounters and the standard of living is almost unchanged compared with two years ago. The sanctions are a complete failure and a real joke! RuSSia even has a higher economic growth than Germany now! 🤒
Why won’t our sorry ass governments do anything about this? Either we have effective sanctions or we have none. So far, we have no real sanctions in place … not if the cockroaches can acquire whatever they want and as long as greedy companies are allowed to continue earning blood money.
