NEW YORK/LONDON—Makers of everyday staples from Pampers diapers to Dove soap are walking a fine line by continuing to sell their products in Russia, as pressure grows on multinational companies to take a stand against Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.
McDonald’s Corp. said on Tuesday it was closing its restaurants in Russia, including its iconic Pushkin Square location in Moscow. PepsiCo Inc., Coca-Cola Co., and Starbucks Corp. also stopped sales of their best-known products in Russia.
