Bosses of the France-based Mulliez group, which runs high-profile chains such as Leroy Merlin, Decathlon and Auchan, were coming under increasing pressure on Wednesday as social media activist groups highlighted their continuing trading in Russia.
The social rights collective Sleeping Giants France posted a plea to Mulliez chiefs from Ukrainian employees at a Leroy Merlin store in a Kyiv shopping centre, which was bombed in an attack killing eight people.
