A group of London bars has told us they'll be donating all the profits made from their new Ukrainian cocktail this weekend to help those in the conflict.

Earlier this week Nightcap, which runs 27 venues across the capital, announced it was getting rid of all its Russian vodka.

Their founder, Sarah Willingham, told us she hopes other bars will follow their lead:

"The more people that replace Russian vodka with Ukrainian - or do whatever they can to support this - the better.

"It highlights the issue. It can genuinely make a difference and we've all got to do what we can to help."
