Russian forces attacked a Coca-Cola plant in Kyiv region with drones on September 3, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
According to Zelenskyy, Russia is using its weapons to terrorize civilians, disrupt everyday life and damage Ukraine’s economy.
“Today, the Russians struck the Coca-Cola plant with a drone. Apparently, Coca-Cola has also become an enemy for them, since they are burning it with Shaheds. A clear Russian signal to America,” Zelenskyy said.
He added that Russia could not have been unaware that the target was an American-owned company.
