Russia says the invasion is a "special operation". Nordic companies said their decision stop selling Mondelez products was based on an announcement this year by Ukraine's National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption to blacklist the snack maker and other groups. Coop Norge, Norway's second biggest food retailer, said on Saturday that it would seek advice from the Norwegian government before making any decisions. Chicago-based Mondelez in a statement said it did not sell Russian-made products in Norway and that official guidelines should be based on objective criteria that treat companies equally. Mondelez said it maintained "limited" activity in Russia while halting investment and advertising, and had condemned the war. "Mondelez International complies with all political decisions and sanctions and will continue to consider necessary adjustments to operations in order to ensure full compliance," it added.
