(Reuters) – Coca Cola HBC has temporarily stopped production at its plant in Kyiv and evacuated employees following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the soft drinks bottler said on Thursday, adding that it scrapped its forecasts for the full year.
The London-listed company, one of the many bottlers for Coca-Cola worldwide, generated about 20% of 2021 volumes and operating profit from both Russia and Ukraine.
