Sainsbury's has announced that it will stop selling Russian diesel at every single one of its petrol stations to show its support for Ukraine. More than 300 forecourts nationwide are operated by Sainsbury's and all of them will be affected by the change.
The supermarket giant said it has already "taken steps to show support" by funding the humanitarian effort and removing products which are 100% sourced from Russia. A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said they're now working to support the ban on Russian oil imports, which is due to take effect by the end of this year, Birmingham Live reports.
Rhian Bartlett, food commercial director at Sainsbury's, said: "We stand united with the people of Ukraine and have taken a range of steps to show our support - from helping to fund the humanitarian effort on the ground, to removing products from our stores which are 100% sourced from Russia.
