Supermarkets remove Russian vodka from shelves
Sainsbury's is the latest supermarket to axe sales of products that come from Russia amid The War in Ukraine.
It will remove Russian Standard vodka and Karpayskiye black Sunflower Seeds from its shelves.
The Move follows announcements from Morrisons and Co-op, which have also withdrawn Russian-made vodka from sale.
Sainsbury's said it would also change the name of Chicken Kiev to " chicken Kyiv" to match the Ukrainian spelling of the capital.
A spokesperson for Britain's second-biggest supermarket said: " We stand united with The People of Ukraine.
" We have reviewed our product range and have decided to remove from sale all products that are 100% sourced from Russia. "
The Co-op, The First supermarket chain to announce such a move on Thursday, said that its decision was " A Sign of solidarity with The People of Ukraine".
It took Russian Standard vodka off sale with immediate effect as it is " overtly marketed as being Russian" and is produced in the country, a spokesperson for the Co-op said.
Sainsbury's confirmed on Friday that it would, however, continue to sell JJ Whitley vodka products, after the manufacturer said it planned to move all production away from St Petersburg to Chorley in Lancashire.
" We support their announcement earlier in the week that they are moving all production to Chorley in the UK by The End of this month and will therefore continue to sell those products, " it said.
According to reports in the newspaper, Tesco is also considering renaming Chicken Kiev to match the Ukrainian spelling of the Capital City Kyiv.
It has Not Yet confirmed whether or not it will remove Russian-sourced products, but has said previously it is following UK government rules on trading with the country.
Elsewhere, other supermarkets in Europe have also taken action. The Netto discount chain has already stopped selling Russian products across its stores Germany, Poland and Denmark .
