In 2022, Philip Morris, Japan Tobacco receive over $15B revenues in Russia

"To me, it sounds as cynical as possible: by earning and paying excise taxes in the aggressor country, the manufacturer is trying to expand production and sales of its products in Ukraine," she stated.

Bulach emphasized that the Ukrainian government should respond decisively by stopping the company's investments in the Ukrainian economy.

"We have to make a decision and ban any development, and possibly distribution, of the products of these two tobacco companies in Ukraine," she summarized.

As Ukrinform reported, the NACP has added Philip Morris International and Japan Tobacco International, the world's leading tobacco companies, to the list of international sponsors of war, as they continue to do business in Russia.

Ben & Jerry’s owner slammed for doing business in Russia in wake of July 4 ‘indigenous’ tweet

The Vermont-based ice cream maker, a subsidiary of Unilever, caused a stir over the holiday weekend when it tweeted: “The United States was founded on stolen indigenous land. This Fourth of July, let’s commit to returning it.”

But Unilever, the Dutch-Anglo conglomerate whose brands include Dove soap and Cornetto ice cream, also has drawn the ire of the Ukrainian government for paying taxes to the Russian government.

The UK-based Moral Rating Agency, which alleges that Cornetto and another Unilever brand of ice cream, Magnum, continue to be sold in Russia, blasted the firm.

It accused company of helping Russian President Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine.

Business on blood: three American food giants have dramatically increased sales in Russia

Western companies are withdrawing from Russia under public pressure, but not everyone is affected. Three American corporations, including Mondelez, Mars and PepsiCo have shown rapid growth of their sales in Russia. All of them managed to cash in on the withdrawal of more conscious competitors.

That's what Bloomberg reported, citing the companies' financial reports and Russian tax data. The more the trade volume and profits of U.S. corporations in Russia grow, the more taxes they pay to the Kremlin. And the Russian authorities use this money to finance the war against Ukraine.

Michael Scott jailed for manslaughter of elderly aunt

They had me in the first half...

https://www.rte.ie/news/2023/0626/1391148-michael-scott-court/

So I asked Chat GPT to write an episode based on this title (I asked Chat GPT to make Michael innocent).

The Office: Season 10, Episode 1 - The Mistake

Michael accidentally knocks over a vase of flowers while helping his aunt with some chores. The vase shatters and cuts his aunt’s neck, causing her to bleed to death. He panics and runs away, leaving behind his fingerprints and DNA. He later learns that she left him a rare and valuable coin collection in her will, but he also becomes the prime suspect in her murder. He tries to prove his innocence, but he only makes things worse. He ends up being arrested and facing trial. Meanwhile, the rest of the office tries to cope with his absence and deal with their own problems. Dwight becomes obsessed with finding the coins, Jim and Pam struggle with their marriage, Andy tries to impress Erin, and Kelly and Ryan break up and get back together again. The episode ends with a twist, as Toby reveals that he is the real killer. He confesses that he was in love with Michael’s aunt and killed her out of jealousy. He also planted evidence to frame Michael. He apologizes and surrenders to the police.
