"Last year, I urged the world to boycott Auchan for failing to withdraw from Russia and stop funding war crimes. However, the reality seems to be far worse: Auchan has evolved into a full-fledged weapon of Russian aggression. I intend to discuss this with my French counterpart," Kuleba wrote.

Earlier, it came to light that from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian subsidiary of the French chain Auchan supplied goods to the Russian military in the occupied Ukrainian territories under the guise of humanitarian aid to civilians, and also helped the military commissars to recruit conscripts, according to a joint investigation by The Insider, Le Monde and Bellingcat.

Auchan supermarket chain is one of the ten largest foreign companies in Russia. In this country, the French chain of Auchan manages 241 stores, employing about 30,000 people. The market of the aggressor country generates 11% of revenues for the parent Auchan Holding.

Earlier, Yves Claude, Auchan General Director, said that the chain would continue its work in Russia, as it "acts in the interests of the civilian population."
