Can they not stop supplying the franchises? Or is manufacturing M & S products also a franchised operation in Russia?

M&S can't do anything about the shops in Russia because they are franchised and not owned by them. I believe they are trying to withdraw from the franchise agreement.

Burger King are in the same situation.

I think its unfair to blame M&S for this and I won't be stopping shopping there.

If you do, even if its just for food, please could you stop for a bit. M&S are one of the firms still active in Russia. So they are stil paying taxes there. A Ukranian minister said on QT last night that if you shop there you are providing money to buy bullets that might kill a Ukrainian child.
