Foreign businesses that have continued operating in Russia despite international sanctions and widespread condemnation are facing backlash in Poland as people increasingly boycott the brands.
Store sales at such brands in Poland have declined, according to the country’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, citing government data. “It shows that ordinary people, more than corporations, understand that current times are exceptional,” Morawiecki said to reporters on March 24. “Decency requires taking actions that trigger losses.”
