A PUB is selling Ukrainian vodka shots with the proceeds donated to help with the war against Russia.
The Southern Belle in Hove is selling a shot titled ‘FCUK Putin’ in an act of solidarity with a member of staff with family in Kyiv.
The shot is yellow and blue, to match the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
In a post on social media, the Waterloo Street venue announced that a large order of Nemiroff had arrived.
Nemiroff is an international alcohol brand from Ukraine and one of the world's largest producers of alcohol.
The statement said: “Our Ukrainian vodka has arrived! Half the profits from the vodka and all proceeds from our FCUK Putin shots will go to Stand For Ukraine Brighton and Hove, which is the charity of choice from our beautiful team member Tetiana.
“Her mum and family have made the decision to stay in Kyiv and our hearts and thoughts go out to them.
“Please share and donate to the charity if you can,. Thank you so much.”
Earlier this month, a pub in Brighton announced they were to ban all Russian made products in an act of support for Ukraine.
The Crown and Anchor Inn in Preston Road will no longer serve Russian made products and produce.
The yellow and blue colours of the Ukrainian flag are also being beamed onto the outside of the building at night.
In a statement released on social media, the pub said the killing of innocent citizens in Ukraine left them wanting to help in any way they could.
The statement said: “The Crown and Anchor Inn has decided that in light of the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine that we will no longer sell any Russian made products.
“Whilst this is no reflection on the Russian people, unfortunately their government has decided to invade a fellow country for their own personal gain and the killing of innocent citizens has made us decide to fully remove all Russian made produce.
“We have requested from our wholesale suppliers to do same in support of Ukraine.”
