Three giant, morally bankrupt corporations - Heineken, Nestle, Auchan - not only continue to do business in Russia, but have actually expanded their operations there, and/or directly supplied the Russian military.

If you have the choice to buy alternative brands, you should.

Last year Heineken launched 61 new products on the Russian market, roughly one every 6 days. In a statement yesterday - a full year after the invasion - they promised to exit Russia at some undefined future date when they find a suitable buyer for the business. #BoycottHeineken

Heineken calls the war in Ukraine "a terrible human tragedy". This is the type of "peace now" handwringing that supports the Russian narrative. Call the war what it is: an unprovoked genocidal invasion of a country that posed no threat to Russia by civilian-murdering barbarians.

Russian supermarkets are still filled with Nestlé products. Nestlé claims that it has stopped export of all 'non-essential' products to Russia - but in practice this seems to mean Nespresso capsules and, er, very little else. #BoycottNestle

An investigation by @LeMonde_EN and @the_ins_ru has shown that @AUCHAN_France not only didn't leave Russia as they said they would, but in fact *directly* supplies goods to the Russian army in occupied Ukrainian territories, claiming they are 'humanitarian aid'. #BoycottAuchan
