Calls to boycott Coca-Cola grow after company refuses to pull out of Russia

Calls to boycott Coca-Cola products reached a fever pitch Friday afternoon as the beverage company reportedly signaled it would continue doing business in Russia amid the invasion of Ukraine.

Some critics contrasted Coca-Cola’s posture toward Russia with its forceful condemnation of the U.S. state of Georgia in March 2021 after its governor, Brian Kemp, signed voting reform legislation into law.

Scores of Western companies in the loop energy, technology, entertainment, retail, automobile, and other sectors have suspended operations in Russia since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in late February.
