The National Agency on Corruption Prevention has added two leading food corporations, PepsiCo and Mars, to the list of international sponsors of the war due to their continued business operations in Russia.

Despite claims of reducing their business activities, discontinuing advertising, and production of their products, these companies are still operating in Russia, paying taxes, and supporting the aggressor's economy. In addition to increasing their revenues in Russia during the first year of full-scale invasion, both companies are actively recruiting new employees in Russia.

According to reports from the media, the products of one of these companies were found in food rations of Russian soldiers, as clarified by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention.

One of the company's slogans is "Try them both and decide. Whose side are you on? That's how the slogan of one of the brands that produces sweets and continues to operate in Russia sounds," National Agency on Corruption Prevention wrote in its Telegram channel. They added that it is likely that producers of Lay's, Pepsi, Sandora, Snickers, M&M's, Twix, Mirinda, and many other well-known brands of sweets, chips, and sweet drinks "either didn't choose a side, support aggression and authoritarianism, or take the position of socially responsible business."
