❗Auchan, Nestle, and Lemana Pro are from unfriendly countries that help the Ukrainian army carry out strikes on civilian economic facilities in Russia. This factor was taken into account when the decision was made to place the Russian assets of those companies under temporary management, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“We are talking about European firms from unfriendly countries. And, of course, their status as such was one of the factors taken into account when making the decision,” he said.

“These are unfriendly countries that are actively involved in military operations against our nation and have been involved in strikes by the Kiev regime on our civilian economic infrastructure,” Peskov added.
