This happened after a request from Ukrainian employees of the company to leave the Russian market, whose troops bombed the LM store in Kiev, killing eight employees.
After the deaths of eight workers as a result of the Russian bombing, workers of the Ukrainian branch of the construction company Leroy Merlin asked to leave the Russian market. However, the French company disconnected them from all channels of corporate communication, writes DW.
Despite similar protests under her office in France, whose participants demanded the cessation of funding for the criminal Kremlin regime, Leroy Merlin refused to leave the Russian market.
We will remind, last Wednesday the president Vladimir Zelensky addressed to parliament of France, during the address he didn't ignore the French companies continuing to conduct business in Russia:
“French companies must leave the Russian market,” Zelensky demanded. “Renault, Auchan and Leroy Merlin and others. They must cease to be sponsors of Russia's military machine. Sponsors of killing children and women. Sponsors of rape, robbery and looting by the Russian army.” All companies must remember (() that values are worth more than profit.

It should be noted that yesterday it became known that the heads of Finnish companies operating in Russia began to be summoned for questioning and threatened with imprisonment, trying to prevent them from leaving the Russian market.
Earlier we reported that one of the three French companies, which continued to operate in both Ukraine and Russia, was forced to leave Russia.
