Unilever owns hundreds of internationally known brands, including Dove, Rexona, Lipton, and Domestos. NAZK says the company failed to leave the Russian market.

Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NAZK) has added British consumer goods company Unilever to its list of sponsors of war, saying the owner of hundreds of internationally known brands, including Dove, Rexona, Lipton, and Domestos, had failed to meet its announced decision to quit the Russian market over Moscow’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine. NAZK Chairman Oleksandr Novikov said on July 3 that "Unilever cannot say it is against the war, while supporting Putin's military machine." According to NAZK, Unilever remains in Russia and its profit in the country increased 24.9 percent last year. Unilever did not immediately comment.
