UPDATE: UKRAINE ADDS BACARDI TO LIST OF "WAR SPONSORS"
As war in Ukraine rages, Bacardi finds a windfall selling booze to Russians. Ukraine adds Bacardi to list of “war sponsors”

UPDATE AUG. 10. 4 p.m. – Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency Thursday added liquor giant Bacardi Ltd., whose U.S. operations are based in Coral Gables, to its list of “international war sponsors.“
“Bacardi Limited continues to pay significant taxes to the budget of Russia, support its economy and sponsor aggression against Ukraine,” Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention said in a press release.
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 Bacardi publicly pledged its support for Ukraine and announced that it had “paused exports to Russia and froze advertising” there.
That was then.
