From the article:

“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s surprise move is widely regarded as the first step toward passing the assets into the hands of Kremlin-friendly investors and comes as part of a renewed push against Western businesses still operating in the country amid the Ukraine war.”

    That is such bullshit propaganda. Is cokewashed a term yet?

    You’re not reading your source very well, and you’re drawing incomplete conclusions.

    The American Coca-Cola company did divest its assets and left Russia in 2022. The company making Dobry Cola isn’t the American Coca-Cola company. The company making Dobry Cola is called Multon Partners and is owned a company called Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC) which is a Dutch bottling company, not the American soda company. The American soda company does not have a controlling interest (51% or greater) in Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC) to decide to force Multon to stop.
