SEATTLE, Wash. – Starbucks is joining a growing list of companies that are ceasing operations in Russia.
CEO Kevin Johnson announced on a company website that it’s halting all sales in Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
He calls the attacks “unprovoked, unjust and horrific.”
Starbucks has just 130 independently-operated stores in Russia and Johnson says they will provide support for the 2000 people there who rely on the stores for their livelihood.
