A good portion of stores in the US and Canada will no longer sell Russian alcoholic beverages, (Russian vodka), in response to the attack president Putin is making in Ukraine.
Many markets in different locations decided to "remove" from the shelves any brand that is produced and comes from Russia, to show Ukrainian citizens who are in support of them.
Also, yesterday Ohio Governor Mike DeWine ordered the state Commerce Department to "stop buying and selling" Russian Standard Vodka.
Canada also ordered the ban and removal of all Russian products from 679 stores in the country, specifically Russian vodka. Such measures have been labelled "minor sanctions" against Russia.
Today I directed @OhioCommerce to cease both the purchase & sale of all vodka made by Russian Standard, the only overseas, Russian-owned distillery with vodka sold in Ohio. Russian Standard's vodka is sold under the brand names of Green Mark Vodka & Russian Standard Vodka.
