On the last day of Victoria’s Secret in Russia, “long queues” were reported by Russian consumers.
The company announced its closure a few days ago as a way to protest against the attacks in Ukraine.
With the invasion of Ukraine, Russia became the most sanctioned country in history.
The recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to Victoria’s Secret to close ranks in the country governed by Vladimir Putin and the response from consumers was unexpected.
Today, more than 300 companies have joined in boycott against Russia because of the invasion in Ukrainesome temporarily suspending their services, while others said goodbye without the promise of returning.
Just in the city of Mariupol, in the Ukraine, the number of deaths has reached more than 1,200 fallen civiliansas announced by the authorities in the area through their Telegram channel.
Given the scenario that, right now, is being experienced in Ukrainian territory, the response of companies, personalities from international politics and other sectors of society has not been long in coming.
From the long list that has decided to punish Russia is Victoria’s Secret, which has been operating in that country for 11 years and which last Wednesday said goodbye as a way of protesting against the attacks perpetrated in Ukraine.
In this way, last Wednesday was the last day that the store opened its doors to consumers, which is why they decided to go en masse to each of the points of sale that Victoria’s Secret maintained in Russia.
Cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, two of the busiest in Russia, reported “mile-long queues” at the closing of Victoria’s Secret stores. Videos posted on social networks show how Russian consumers took the opportunity to make their purchases before it was too late.
since a few days, Victoria’s Secret announced that it would close as a way to protest against the actions that the Russian government has taken as of February 24, the date on which the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
Both the different points of sale and the online store have been temporarily closed, although its website ensures that all orders placed before March 9, 2022 will be delivered.
