  1. Sanction Poland and Kazakhstan then you will solve the problem. Alcohol and food stuff are coming from Poland all other stuff is coming from Kazakhstan.

  2. If you haven’t cut our Nestle products from your groceries list for environmental or health reasons now you have a political reason to do so. Fuck Nestle!

  3. Stuff from the West is still getting to Russia, it just goes to countries like Turkey first now.

  4. Nestle said they wouldn’t stop selling products that they deem essentials:

    >Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we have drastically reduced our portfolio in Russia and implemented the actions we announced in March. Our remaining activities are focused on bringing essential food to the local people. This aligns with our purpose of ensuring the basic right to food.

    >In particular:

    > – We have suspended production of the large majority of SKUs of renowned Nestlé brands to focus on providing essential foods, such as infant food and medical nutrition;

    > – We have halted non-essential imports and exports into and out of Russia;

    > – We have stopped all advertising;

    > – We have suspended capital investment in the country;

    > – We continue to fulfil our obligations toward our employees;

    > – We fully comply with all applicable international sanctions on Russia; and

    > – Any profit made this year will be donated to humanitarian causes.

    >In Ukraine, our priority remains to keep our employees and their families safe, and to support the people of Ukraine. We continue to run our operations in the country where safe to do so, and have been rallying our teams across the region to get food and essential supplies to the local people, and to those in neighboring countries displaced due to the war.

    >We continue to provide support through donations to relief organizations, such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and have provided more than 4,200 tons of food donations. To date, Nestlé has committed more than CHF 55 million, including CHF 15 million in contributions to the people of Ukraine, and a recent CHF 40 million investment for a new production facility in the Volyn region in the western part of Ukraine.

    >We are committed to working together with the wider food industry to support and restore Ukraine’s agri-food sector as part of the country’s recovery and path toward a brighter future.

    >We stand with the people of Ukraine and our 5,500 employees there.

    No idea how Nespresso counts as essential though.

  5. Nothing really dissapeared there from supermarkets.
    Only mc donalds was replaced.
    If they need things it just passes through Turkey now.
