Report: Tobacco and food giants made billions in Russia after Ukraine invasion

Major international corporations that stayed in Russia after the invasion in Ukraine — including Philip Morris and Danone — made hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue in the country last year, a new report has found. After Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February, 2022, dozens of international companies pulled out of Russia to safeguard their reputation or protect their business — but those who stayed have since paid billions of dollars to the Kremlin in taxes on their revenues.

That’s because taxes paid on employees’ salaries or in the form of VAT are not included in th...
