While I agree that them simply taking a stance would send a (better) clear messag, I suppose you could argue that they (as the second largest grocery store chain) stopping sales of their products could have immediate and serious impact on the local production and employees - Though I’m sure they’re more or less following the money-wind.
If coop wanted to continue selling their products, and remain ethical themselves, the only thing they could do is to send the margin gained from selling those products to aiding Ukraine. But that’s still ethically somewhat dubious.
In Sweden some stores has either removed Mondelez products, stopped buying new stock or placed a sign on the shelfs with Mondelez products with info on their continued business in russias.
