It’s not straightforward! They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year. I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago 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). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (5 children) With the absolute shitshow that the Ruble is I don't see how staying in the country and doing business could be profitable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] gosling@lemmy.world 29 points 3 years ago* With Wagner's exile to Belarus, Unilever could be Putin's next PMC if their employees do well enough on the battlefield.

You can buy them tho, so Russian banks can put any price they want to get the big money from some idiots who want to try some war profiteering. It also generates the illusion that the sanctions against Russia are not working, which is food for the propaganda machine. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blursty@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 3 years ago The Ruble is at a 20 year high. permalink fedilink source parent
