COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Saturday ordered the state’s Department of Commerce to cease the purchase and sale of all vodka made by the Russian company Russian Standard Vodka.

The Ohio Division of Liquor Control has also directed that the 487 liquor agencies across the state pull “Green Mark Vodka” and “Russian Standard Vodka” from their shelves immediately.

According to DeWine, Russian Standard Vodka is the only overseas, Russian-owned vodka distillery with vodka sold in the state.

The Ohio Division of Liquor Control estimates that there are approximately 6,400 bottles of vodka made by the company currently for sale in the state.

It seems that the guy who runs the Stoli Group despises Putin, so Putin ran him out of the country.
