The CEO of privately-owned French supermarket chain Auchan said March 27 the company plans to maintain its presence in Russia, despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming that French companies still operating in the neighboring country are “sponsoring the Russian war machine.”
In an interview published in the French newspaper Journal du Dimanche, CEO Yves Claude said the grocery chain’s decision to continue operations in Russia was a “human” one.
