Western retail outlets including Ikea, Nike and Zara pull out of Russia after its invasion of Ukraine
Long lines of Russian shoppers formed outside H&M stores in Moscow shopping centres this week when the Swedish fashion retailer reopened its doors to sell off stock before pulling out of the country for good.
Along with a spate of other western brands including Ikea, Nike and Zara owner Inditex, H&M halted operations in Russia after its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, but the retailer opened its doors one last time this week to clear out remaining goods.
