The Russian government has ordered the temporary transfer of the management of the assets of the Swiss food group Nestlé, the French supermarket chain Auchan –Alcampo in the Spanish market– and the also French Leroy Merlin, specialized in DIY material, to the company L.E.V. Management. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is thus responding to the sanctions of European countries against the Russian regime for the invasion of Ukraine, in particular Switzerland, a traditionally neutral country.
