Subway Added to Ukraine's 'International War Sponsors' List

The fast-food chain is accused of financing Moscow's war against Kyiv through its continued operations in Russia.

Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has added Subway to its list of 'international war sponsors' for continuing to operate over 500 stores in Russia.
Subway has been accused of financing Moscow's war against Kyiv through its operations in Russia, where it has been active for over 20 years.
Subway joins other companies like PepsiCo, Philip Morris International, and Procter & Gamble that are also doing business in Russia.
Subway claims its hands are tied due to its franchise business model and has pledged to redirect any profits from its Russian operations to humanitarian efforts supporting Ukrainians affected by the war.
Subway's restaurants in Russia are all independently owned and operated by local franchisees and managed by an independent master franchisee.
