We remain focused on prioritizing the safety and well-being of our employees and their families in Ukraine. We continue to engage with local communities and support the people in Ukraine providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by the war. We are investing in our long-term presence in Ukraine and have expanded local food production capacity with a new factory at our Volyn site in the western part of the country.
In Russia, since the outbreak of the war in 2022, we implemented the actions we communicated, while continuing to comply fully with all applicable international sanctions. Following the placement of Nestlé's Russian entities under temporary external administration in September 2026, our commitment remains to support the continued production of safe, everyday food products for consumers and the wellbeing of employees in the region. We expect the business's assets and workforce to continue to be managed in support of these priorities.
Any statements issued on behalf of the Russian entities of Nestlé reflect the position of the temporary external administration. Nestlé's position remains unchanged and is set out in its press release of 18 September 2026.
