Description
Kyiv Mule and White Ukraine cocktails are on the menu at a US bar that has renamed its Russian-themed drinks and decided to stop purchasing or serving Russian vodka, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. "Being Jewish and my whole family's Jewish...this is a resemblance to what happened at the start of World War II", says Ronnie Heckman, the owner of the bar in Bethesda, Maryland. In Virginia, one of 17 US states where the government manages the sale and distribution of distilled spirits, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority pulled seven Russian-sourced vodka brands from their nearly 400 stores on Sunday.
