Some of America’s biggest brands like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Pepsi are under growing pressure to cut business ties with Russia as social media users continue to express outrage over Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The hashtags #BoycottMcDonalds and #BoycottCocaCola were trending on Twitter over the weekend as public opinion has remained overwhelmingly opposed to Russia’s military assault against its neighbor to the west.
