According to Russian business daily Kommersant, KM Logistics made the request due to Nestlé not expanding its production capacity in Russia and not exporting products made in the country. A Nestlé spokesperson stated the company has not been contacted by the Russian government regarding the request and continues to operate its offices and factories in Russia. The move follows similar actions by the Kremlin in 2023, when it seized the Russian assets of Danone and Carlsberg.
