Russians have intensified attacks on the facilities of American companies in Ukraine in order to make the country less attractive to foreign investors and undermine Ukraine's economic resilience. This is reported by UNN with reference to The New York Times.
Details
According to the publication, the assets of Cargill, Coca-Cola, Boeing, Mondelez, Philip Morris, Flex, and Bunge have come under Russian strikes. In the four weeks since the beginning of 2026, Bunge, Philip Morris, and Mondelez were hit, the publication states.
Some businesses consider these strikes part of a broader campaign to destroy Ukraine's economic base. Others qualify it as an attempt to disrupt foreign investment at the very moment when Ukraine has begun to deepen economic ties with the United States.
At the same time, these strikes hit Ukraine's ability to maintain exports and build a model of post-war recovery based on private investment, the publication says.
As a reminder
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees enacting the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine regarding the application of sanctions against Russians and companies that supply products for the Russian military-industrial complex.
