By Antoinette RadfordBBC News
Absolut Vodka will stop exporting its products to Russia after a backlash in its Home Country , Sweden.
The Company initially halted the exports in March 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine.
But its parent company, Pernod Ricard , confirmed That some exports had resumed - which sparked fury.

Last week, many top bars and restaurants in Sweden pulled the drink from their shelves, and politicians condemned its export, following media reports it was being sold to Russia.
The Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said he was " very surprised" to hear The Company had resumed exports.

Absolut warned they had no control over The Parallel market and their vodka could still get into Russia That way.
" For clarity, this will unfortunately not prevent Absolut from falling into The Hands of the 'parallel market', which has strongly increased in recent months and over which we have no control, " Pernod Ricard said.
