Pressure is growing on Western food and drink giants to pull out of Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine.
McDonald's and Coca-Cola have been criticised on social media for failing to speak out about the attacks and continuing to operate in the country.
Well-known firms including Netflix and Levi's have already suspended sales or stopped providing services in Russia.
McDonald's and Coca-Cola have not responded to the BBC's request for comment.
#BoycottMcDonalds and #BoycottCocaCola were trending on Twitter on Monday and over the weekend respectively.

The criticism comes amid calls for other well-known Western firms such as KFC, Pepsi and Starbucks and Burger King to close their outlets and stop sales in Russia.
However, most firms have stayed silent on the issue with KFC, Pepsi, Starbucks and Burger King also declining to respond to the BBC's requests for comment.

spin doctoring takes time
Coca cola is diabetes in a can. Their spin doctors pimp poison.
YOU MUST CONFORM...OR ELSE
Coca-cola should fight Russia by selling only New Coke there. LOL
Our woke masters getting a taste of wokeness
Google and YouTube and all internet services from outside Russia, need to end services there.
The Russian people will be lost without those services.
Never use em.
"Your silence is consent" dry run was in the Summer of 2020 and it was a big HIT!
I don’t understand the problem. McDonalds is making money on russians, right? Does the raw ingredients come from here or Russia? Whereas, say Nikes are made in China and we pay them so China makes the money. By selling to Russia we are pulling money out of Russia, right?
Calls for McDonalds and Coca-Cola to refuse to provide their products to people without a vaccination card or who have spouted conservative talking points on social media are increasing!
Why aren’t the same people pressuring the White House to stop buying Russian oil?
Then don’t drink it!
I think Coca Cola should stay there and teach the Russians to be less white.
woke coke, yuck.
Remember Coke’s woke posturing not only on Georgia’s election laws but also GA’s abortion heartbeat law? Now they’re suddenly apolitical? That’s rich. Shove it, soda boys.
Lol, McDonald’s and Coke are not retarded I guess.
I wouldn’t respond either.
But um....will anybody actually care if Coca Cola stopped selling in Russia?
Colas (and burgers) are about the easiest things to make if anyone wants them.
What will Muscovites do without a Big Macski?
Not disagreeing, but some of us still enjoy one every once in a while. Kind of a sidebar. We all have vices.
