If Russia is drafting foreigners who would otherwise not be there if not for Unilever, then this would be a profoundly evil thing. If they're actually just drafting Russian citizens who happen to work at Unilever, then this might be a misleading headline. The article doesn't specify.

(Unilever still sucks for paying Russian taxes and supporting their war effort)

Yeah, exactly. What is Unilever supposed to do to protect their Russian workers? Well, they could leave Russia, but then their newly unemployed Russian workers will still get drafted...
