The war between Russia and Ukraine, which has been going on for exactly 2 weeks, caused the West and Russia bloc to break away from each other completely. While the Western world is separating Russia from the world where the West is dominating, almost all Western-based companies have imposed sanctions against Russia.
While some of these sanctions were the subject of discussion with the prediction that they would reach the level of racism, a person who made a big blow to Russia(!) became the subject of the headlines. In the UK, 59-year-old Mike Ockelford took down bottles of vodka from the shelves when he went to his local supermarket.
He took the Russian vodkas off the shelves, creating an event:
Ockelford, who is stated to be the boss of a security company, looked at the alcohol shelves in the market where he went to food shopping for his office, and the Russian products were still He saw it on the shelves. Ockelford, who caught his eye on the bottles, decided to make a move that would literally end the war, checked the bottles and had St. He took the bottles stated to have been bottled in St. Petersburg from the shelf.
Unloading the bottles into a shopping cart, Ockelford then called an executive with vodkas next to him. The assistant manager, who came to Ockelford, said that they would consult the higher units about Russian-made vodkas. But then the atmosphere got tense when a more authoritative person officially demanded that the vodka bottles be put back on the shelves, as if in defense of the Russian invasion of Ukraine(!). Ockelford described what happened next as follows:
“He claimed that the bottles were made in the UK, which was why I was angry. Because Russian Standard vodka St. Petersburg, which is written on the bottle. I raised my voice and told him he was speaking ‘too bullshit’. Then he called the police.”
The police, who came to the scene with a report of abusing a staff member, were handcuffed and placed in the police vehicle for a few minutes after he refused to give his address and his own information, according to Ockelford. As a result of the incident, no charges were brought against Ockelford.
Sainbury’s, one of the UK’s largest chain stores, has announced that it will remove Russian Standard vodkas from its shelves. In addition, in the shared statement, “We are with the people of Ukraine. We reviewed our product range and made the decision to remove all 100% Russian products from sale.” statements were included.
