Fast karma: a Russian missile destroyed a PepsiCo plant in Kyiv region, which continues to operate in Russia
They paid for the missile that destroyed their plant with their taxes in Russia, the Defense Ministry said.
During a missile attack on September 21, Russians destroyed a plant of the American company PepsiCo in the Kyiv region.
PepsiCo was included in the list of war sponsors because it continues to operate in Russia.
It turns out that the company itself paid for the missile that destroyed their plant, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine commented.
"As a result of the latest missile strike by Russian terrorists, the PepsiCo plant in the city of Vyshneve, Kyiv region, was destroyed," the ministry said in a statement on Twitter.
The ministry reminded that PepsiCo was included in the list of war sponsors because it continues to operate in Russia.
"They paid for the missile that destroyed their plant with their taxes in Russia," the Ukrainian Defense Ministry added.
Last spring, PepsiCo announced the suspension of advertising and beverage production in Russia, but later resumed them under other brands.
According to media reports, the revenue of the American corporation PepsiCo in the aggressor country of Russia in 2022 increased by 20% – from $3.43 billion to $4.12 billion.
In September, the NACP added two leading food corporations, PepsiCo and Mars, to the list of international sponsors of war. The NACP stated that despite claims of reducing their business, stopping advertising activities and production of their products, they continue to operate in Russia, paying significant taxes to its budget, thus supporting the economy of the aggressor country.
The Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that on the night of September 21 at about 03:40, the Russian occupiers attacked Ukraine with X-101/X-555/X-55 air-launched cruise missiles, and the Air Defense Forces shot down 36 of the 43 Russian missiles.
