PepsiCo production facility damaged in Russian strike on Ukraine, company says
The company said it is currently assessing the full scale of the consequences and taking steps to restore supplies of its products to customers and consumers in Ukraine.
PepsiCo has reported that a Russian strike on August 29 damaged one of its production facilities in Ukraine's southern Mykolaiv Oblast. The company stated that no employees were injured, but they are currently assessing the extent of the damage and working to restore supplies of its products to customers and consumers in Ukraine.
PepsiCo, a leading company in Ukraine's food market with brands such as Pepsi, 7UP, and Lipton Ice Tea, has faced disruptions to its operations throughout Russia's full-scale invasion. The company previously relocated production from Mykolaiv Oblast to Vyshneve, near Kyiv, due to the proximity to the front line. In September 2023, a Russian missile strike caused a fire that destroyed a dairy-products warehouse and production facilities in Vyshneve.
Despite the ongoing conflicts, PepsiCo continues to operate in both Ukraine and Russia, with its Russian presence drawing criticism since the start of the full-scale invasion.
