Significant Damage to Oreo Manufacturer Mondelez's Ukrainian Cookie Business

According to the firm, no personnel were hurt in the incident, to the best of their knowledge. Mondelez claimed in an emailed statement that the Oreo facility – one of at least two Mondelez facilities in Ukraine, according to workers – was shuttered immediately after the war started. Russia invaded Ukraine more than a month ago in what the Kremlin describes as a "special operation."


This week, the US determined that Ukrainian troops had recaptured Trostyanets from Russia.


Mondelez, which manufactures Milka chocolate and other regionally branded biscuits across Europe, claimed it has been difficult to contact all of its workers due to telecommunications failures in the Trostyanets area. Additionally, the corporation is collaborating with Ukrainian authorities to replenish the region with water and electricity, as well as contributing wheat and sugar to non-governmental groups.


Mondelez said it is too early to determine the plant's next course of action.


Confronted with pressure to leave Russia in March, the Chicago-based snack company announced it would curtail "non-essential activity" in the country while assisting in the maintenance of food supplies. In a message posted on the company's website, CEO Dirk Van de Put criticized the assault and urged an end to the war.


The corporation has come under fire for its decision to continue operating in Russia.
