Zelensky Calls Out Three French Companies for 'Sponsoring' Russia's War
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged French companies to leave the Russian market in his Wednesday address to the French National Assembly, naming large retailers and automobile manufacturers as "sponsors" of the war in his home country.
"French companies must leave the Russian market. Renault, Auchan, Leroy Merlin and others must stop sponsoring Russia's war machine," Zelensky said to French lawmakers via Zoom. "They must stop financing the murders of children and women. Everyone must remember that values are worth more than profits."
Earlier this week, French carmaker Renault resumed operations at its Russian production facilities as international companies have pulled out of the country as part of a mass withdrawal in opposition to the invasion of Ukraine. Over 36,000 people in Russia work for the company.
French retailers Auchan, a supermarket group, and Leroy Merlin, which sells home improvement and gardening products, have also continued to operate in Russia.

...what is the profit per dead civilian?
Nice PR move by these fine upstanding corporate citizens.
I guess you can use a Leroy Merlin shovel to bury your child...
