Some bars and liquor stores think they've found a potent way to punish Russia for invading Ukraine: They're pulling Russian vodka off their shelves and promoting Ukrainian brands instead.
In a video posted to Twitter Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he and the people of Ukraine are defending their country as Russian aggression escalates.
"It's selling out a lot faster than we thought," said general manager Drew Podrebarac."It's been awesome.'' The Magic Mountain ski resort in Londonderry, Vermont, posted a video on Twitter showing an employee pouring Stolichnaya down the drain and saying:"Sorry, we don't serve Russian products here." In Canada, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario on Friday announced that"all products produced in Russia will be removed from LCBO channels," including 679 of its stores across the province. It also promised to accept the return of any Russian products and declared that it"stands with Ukraine, its people, and the Ukrainian Canadian community here in Ontario.
In Grand Rapids, Quay said he may never sell Russian products again. And he's taken another step:"I've ordered a Ukrainian flag, and that will be going up next week."
