The Coca-Cola Company says it is suspending its operations in Russia.
It is the latest in a string of well-known Western brands to halt their work in the country - after similar announcements today from McDonald's and Starbucks.
"Our hearts are with the people who are enduring unconscionable effects from these tragic events in Ukraine," a statement from Coca-Cola says.
The fizzy drinks company had been facing growing pressure to pull out of Russia, with #BoycottCocaCola trending on Twitter in recent days.
