VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority announced Sunday morning that it was removing seven Russian-sourced vodka brands from its shelves.
The state-run liquor store system attributed the decision to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s call on Saturday for the state to take “decisive action” in support of Ukraine.
Sen. Louise Lucas also tweeted Saturday morning, calling on Youngkin to order the removal of all Russian products from the ABC stores.
