Soooo, the company owning Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is continuing to operate in Russia because "exiting is not straightforward". Bruh. You're going to lose money in exchange for not supporting a murderous regime. It is straightforward.

Is there a reason you singled out Ben & Jerry's? I'm just curious since Unilever has so many products, that seems like a rather specific and random one to point out.
