Newport Pub Bans Russian Vodka In Stand With Ukraine

An Isle of Wight pub has joined the list of businesses taking a stand with Ukraine.

The Castle Inn, in Newport, said it will not be stocking Russian-owned Vodka "for the foreseeable future".

Posting on Facebook, the pub said:

"Due to the conflict in the Ukraine we will not be stocking Russian Owned Vodka for the foreseeable future."

It follows Sainsbury's announcement that it will also stop selling Russian Standard vodka - or Karpayskiye black seeds.

The supermarket has also re-named its ‘Chicken Kiev’ to ‘Chicken Kyiv’, with new packaging visible in the coming weeks.

Tesco, Asda and the John Lewis Partnership - which owns Waitrose and John Lewis - have also confirmed plans to halt selling of Russian products.
