✈️ New reporting by @theguardian.com and ESCU, a B4Ukraine member, reveals Russia is still importing Michelin aviation tyres through third countries despite Michelin’s exit from the Russian market and attempts to stop the trade.

B4Ukraine has been declared “undesirable” by Russia for our work to strengthen sanctions and advance the full economic isolation of the aggressor. Moscow’s fear proves the impact of int'l civil society. Our mission remains clear: to block access to the resources fueling Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Russia ordered Raiffeisen to pay $400M, pushing total court-imposed damages above $2.6B, despite the bank’s continued loyalty to Moscow. The longer Raiffeisen stays in Russia, the higher the cost. Exit now, write off the assets, and seek int'l legal remedy. bit.ly/497PJdw @banktrack.bsky.social

According to ESCU, in 2024, Russia imported over $60M worth of aircraft tires and tire-production materials from China.

EU moves toward unlocking €210bn for Ukraine—Kremlin responds with threats to nationalise foreign firms. B4Ukraine has warned: staying in Russia isn’t strategy, it’s risk. Companies still there profit while taxpayers pay for the war. The cost must fall on the aggressor. Exit now. bit.ly/4aTnHFd

#Milka is a German Christmas favorite 🎄.

Your choices as a consumer can make a difference. 💡

@dekleptocracy.bsky.social: chemicals used to produce mechanical lubricants and military-grade tyres represent a critical weak spot for Russia that US/EU/UK could exploit.

PepsiCo has delivered $1M worth of critical equipment, including children’s ambulances, to Ukraine. Yet, the $1M pales in comparison to the $400M Pepsi has paid in profit tax to Putin since 2022.
