LONDON, United Kingdom– Kyiv has placed British consumer goods giant Unilever on Ukraine's "International Sponsors of War" list, claiming Monday it continues to profit from operations in Russia, triggering demonstrations in London.
This was owing to its "presence in the Russian Federation and its significant taxes to the Russian state budget, thereby supporting the aggressor's economy and contributing to the continuation of Russia's war against Ukraine", it added. Ukrainian and British activists on Monday demonstrated outside the company's London headquarters where a billboard, resembling an advert for Dove but which showed wounded Ukrainian soldiers, was displayed.
The Kyiv School of Economics estimates that Unilever last year paid at least $331 million in Russian taxes.
