To be honest, I only read them and try to think that they might be biased.
I’m not the most clever person in the room, and I’ve been fooled too many times and now I try (not very well but at least I try) to think about everything as ‘xx source says this…’ or ‘yy source says that…’ instead of being absolute truths.
But in my experience: most companies care about profits more than morals, so I believe morr the sources that do not contradict that.
You are right that most companies do value profit more than anything else, yet there are some that have gone ahead and ditched their profit off Russia. As for those who value profits, we can exert somepressure on them by not spending our money on their products/services and by embarassing them on SM.
Many consumers who are against Russia’s imperialism and unaware that their favourite brand of shampoo support Russia. Maybe when they realise via SM and mainstream they will join as well.
BizAgainstRussianInvasion is a sister zine to this space and names companies that did the right thing, so there are alternatives to choose from. It was created on the premise that if we need choices to be able to choose. It’s no good saying boycott Dove, if the person is unaware of brands that chose morality over profits.

Thanks. Since both report publishers, yale & leave-russia, are credible, we’ve chosen to publish both their reports in different threads.
Data & information from leave-russia.org has been mentioned in a separate thread in this space https://kbin.social/m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion/t/169542/The-List-Of-International-Companies-That-Continue-To-Do-Business
In your opinion, which report is more credible?
