    A cosmetics manufacturer alone? No.

    All western companies leaving however can make an economic hit that will benefit Ukraine.

    As for the Russians? They can revolt or do something, otherwise they suffer. Who cares about them.

      They suffer if they revolt too.

      Judging by your name, you’re an Aussie and I’ve got to say, disappointed in your complete writing off of the entire Russian population. How the fuck is some young girl working at Lush supporting Putin or deserving of suffering if they don’t revolt?

      So all the western companies that did leave at the start of the war… what effect has that had? The war still continues, Russia took over copyrights and trademarks to continue global brands going internally, and Putin is still President.

      When is this economic hit supposed to happen and when will its effects cause this change everyone is claiming? It’s nearly 2024 and these companies left in March of 2022.

        Russias economy is the effect it had, or do you think Russia today is in as good a state as before the sanctions?

        You seem to expect an overnight collapse of society? The world doesn’t work that easily.
