  1. TIL that the same stuff I used to grow marijuana in can also be used as insulation in buildings.

    Lack of money for the war. Now it will wait for all those greedy for money. If you don’t leave russia immediately, the business will simply be taken away.

  3. Interesting timing. The greenland meeting is today. This will be used by vance to expoilt Denmark in relation to Greenland.

  4. Same happened to many other foreign companies still operating in Russia.

    You had your writing on the wall – you choose to do nothing about it. You can only blame yourselves.

    I mean if you’re still operating in Russia at this point it’s kind of your own fault.

    “The company added that it will defend its legal rights under the bilateral investment treaty between the countries”.

    Good luck 🥲

  7. Im danish and Rockwool deserves this. They didn’t leave when everyone else did. Stop crying Rockwool.

  8. This article is posted in a different sub with a bit more info in the title… “Denmark’s Rockwool Refused to Stop Doing Business in Russia After the Invasion of Ukraine. Now Russia Seized Four Rockwool Factories and the Company is Crying about it.”

  9. you were told to divest in Russia 4 YEARS AGO, being a greedy corporate scum will get you that.

    I can’t say that I am sorry for them. They continued doing business with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine and finally karma caught up them.

  11. I hope this is a lesson for every western company that still thinks maintaining production in Russia is a good Idea

  12. The view among general Danes is: Ok, well tough luck, you should have shut that shit down years ago, who cares.

  13. Rockwool was still operating in russia after all these years? They were working with the regime, knowing very well that the regime has seized a bunch of other factories?

    It’s on them. Entirely their own fault for continuing to operate.

    As a Dane, I can only offer them my sincerest ohnos and anyways.

    Those greedy fucks should have pulled out years ago.

  15. Good luck to Rockwool, I hope any Danish employees will be able to depart quickly from Russia.
