Mr. Kouleba accuses in a tweet Renault, of which Russia is the second market and where it is present via the company AvtoVAZ, of “supporting a brutal war of aggression”. He therefore calls on “customers and companies around the world to boycott the Renault group”.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had urged in a video, in front of the French Parliament, French companies established in Russia to stop supporting the Russian “war machine”.
Mr. Kouleba illustrated his tweet with a photo montage showing, on the one hand, the “positioning of the Renault group” and its slogan “Passion for life” with a smiling customer and, on the other, the “position” of the constructor, with a civilian in front of a destroyed car and the inscription “Sponsor of Putin’s war”.
