PepsiCo confirms "damage" to Ukraine plant. The company said there were "no injuries" as it assesses the "full extent" of the damage. A PepsiCo production facility in southern Ukraine was hit last weekend amid the ongoing conflict in the country. In a brief statement issued on Sunday (30 August), the US food and beverage group confirmed its facility in Mykolaiv Oblast had been "damaged". "The safety of our employees is our top priority and we can confirm that there were no injuries," the company said, adding teams are currently evaluating the "full extent" of the damage. The statement did not provide operational specifics but added the company is "taking steps" to restore distribution to its customers. Local English-language daily The Kyiv Independent, citing Ukraine's State Emergency Service in Mykolaiv Oblast, reported that Russian forces attacked the region throughout 29 August. The office said the strikes damaged a warehouse belonging to a food-industry company, sparking a large fire, without naming the business. According to PepsiCo's Ukraine website, the group has three primary assets in the country. These include two production complexes in the Mykolaiv region for snacks and beverages, alongside a dairy and baby food processing plant in the Kyiv region. It sells 14 brands in Ukraine, including Sandora juices, as Pepsi and Lipton Ice Tea. In snacks, the company markets Lay's, Cheetos, Doritos and KhrumTeam, alongside dairy and baby food brands. PepsiCo's operations in Ukraine have reportedly faced repeated disruption since the conflict began in 2022. Forbes Ukraine reported that PepsiCo had previously relocated production from Mykolaiv Oblast to Vyshneve, near Kyiv, to move further from the front line. However, a missile strike in September 2023 destroyed the plant and production facilities, according to reports at the time. Financial disclosures indicate that Ukraine accounted for less than 1% of PepsiCo consolidated net revenue in 2024 and 2023. By contrast, the company maintains's operations in Russia generated 4% of consolidated net revenue in 2024 and 5% in 2025. PepsiCo's net revenue in Russia reached $4.77bn in 2025, up 22.6% from $3.88bn recorded a year earlier. Last week, a Mondelez International factory in north-east Ukraine was hit in Russian drone strikes. Give your business an edge with its leading industry insights.

PepsiCo shares have fallen 29% from their high, whilst Coca-Cola stock is up 28% year to date, nearing all-time highs.
