Calls to boycott Subway grow as company continues doing business in Russia

Subway is facing a growing backlash as around 450 of its restaurants continue to operate in Russia, nearly a month into the war in Ukraine.

But the sandwich conglomerate says it is powerless to shut down the stores as they are run by independent franchisees.

After more than 150 US companies withdrew from Russia in response to the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, there are growing calls on social media for consumers to boycott Subway.
