McDonald's, Starbucks close Russian stores over Ukraine attack - a podcast by RNZ

A number of big name western brands have added to the Kremlin's global isolation over its invasion of Ukraine.
McDonalds and Starbucks will temporarily close stores in Russia, while Pepsi and Coca-Cola are suspending business in the country.
Meanwhile civilians have fled the besieged city of Sumy in the first successful humanitarian corridor.
But Ukraine has accused Russian forces of shelling another evacuation route, from Mariupol in the south.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has renewed calls for more sanctions and no-fly zones, something the West has rejected for fears of escalating the conflict.
