“Fascist imperial Russia has not seen and does not see Western companies as partners for mutual benefit, only as targets for weaponization, manipulation and confiscation,” write B4Ukraine’s Bennett Freeman and Nataliya Popovych in a new op-ed. Companies still operating in Russia should get out now!

The Kremlin is weaponising Western companies that remain in Russia—seizing their assets and turning them into hostages to block new sanctions. Metro is the latest example. The continued presence of EU firms in Russia has gifted Moscow a leverage point to pressure governments and undermine EU unity.

Bacardi grew its revenue in Russia by 70% and is set to mass-produce Dewar’s Scotch whisky in the country, according to @thetimes.com.

We thank every member of Congress who supported the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia & Iran Act. It could prove historic—but only if President Trump signs it swiftly and it is enforced without waivers or loopholes. Time to demonstrate the strength needed to bring Moscow to the negotiating table.

🚫 Another Italian fashion brand to remember well: Trussardi. CEO Alberto Racca says they plan to expand in Russia and open new stores there. That means more taxes and more support for Russia’s war economy at a time when it's scraping together every possible source of revenue to fund its illegal war.

After Mondelez stated that the taxes it pays in Russia help fund the war against Ukraine, Russian forces have already struck the company’s plant in Ukraine twice. This time, five people were injured. This disgrace will follow the company for years unless it changes course and exits Russia now.

⁉️ In July 2026, the 5 largest EU buyers of Russian fossil fuels paid Russia a combined €1.3B. According to @creacleanair.bsky.social, Hungary was the EU’s top buyer, followed by Slovakia, Belgium and France. In fact, Belgium sourced 100% of its LNG imports from Russia in July. It is deeply shameful.

The EU deserves credit for its 21st sanctions package—but it also contains one dangerous exemption. A Greek carve-out allows shipping magnate George Prokopiou's Dynagas to continue transporting Russian LNG to third countries. This exemption must be allowed to expire—not become a permanent loophole.

In the coming days, the Irish gov will publish the findings of its inquiry into the Aughinish plant. It is naïve to believe Irish-made alumina isn't ending up in weapons killing Ukrainian children. As PM Martin said, there are no easy decisions—but there are right ones. The time to act is now.

Speaking to the BBC, Mondelez CEO openly acknowledged that the taxes they pay in Russia help fund the war and insisted that staying there was the “right decision.” This is more than a shameless admission. It is evidence of ongoing corporate complicity in Russia’s war and the atrocities it enables.

🛑 Reports that Japanese shipowner MOL & South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha are about to sell ice-class LNG tankers to Novatek are deeply alarming. Such a deal would stab Ukraine in the back, undermine US sanctions and weaken planned EU measures. ‼️ Supporters of Ukraine must act to prevent this sale.

This effectively means that while German taxpayers have been supporting Ukraine, providing billions of euros in support, some major German companies have chosen to continue doing business with the regime, paying taxes and thereby indirectly supporting Russia’s war and undermining sanctions.
