Why is unilever still in Russia to begin with?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago

The same reason Intel, IBM, Google, Facebook, etc. are in Israel

In case you want to avoid them.

Wow, they had a choice and that's what they're choosing?

Not on conscription. The only way to avoid it would be to stop operating in Russia entirely (which, being a giant corporation, they won't).

With the absolute shitshow that the Ruble is I don't see how staying in the country and doing business could be profitable.

With Wagner's exile to Belarus, Unilever could be Putin's next PMC if their employees do well enough on the battlefield. Maybe that's where they think the real profit will start coming in /s
