Wtf are these companies doing. Soda manufacturer’s are at the top in revenue generation and at the bottom in risk. They print liquid money. It’s just moronic to risk the horrid PR of looking like you’re sponsoring a kleptocratic war mongering nation (like the Ukraine just accused you of).

FYI: the "the" before Ukraine is superfluous. You can just type "like Ukraine just accused you of."

What about The Hague

That's the proper name of it. The Ukraine isn't the proper name of Ukraine.
