Coca Cola and Starbucks have joined McDonald's in finally bowing to huge international pressure and pausing operations in Russia.
The companies had faced boycott calls in recent days after they continued to trade in the country following Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
They were accused of putting profits before justice as other companies - including Netflix, Apple and Levi's - withdrew from Russia as a result of Putin's war, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians and forced an estimated two million to flee.
