They were the first America brand to enter Russia?

Makes sense they wouldn't give a shit now.

Many were forced to by the sanctions. Some by proxy when they affected the banks, making it tough to transfer the profits.

Yes. We're tracking them at https://kbin.social/m/BizAgainstRussianInvasion. We're also tracking sponsors of Russia's war on https://kbin.social/m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion.
