The London bars donating profits from special cocktail to Ukrainians

A group of London bars has exclusively 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 it's Russian vodka.

It's now replaced that with a Ukrainian brand and has made the Lyubov (love) cocktail from it.

Founder of Nightcap, Sarah Willingham said;

"The move to switch from Russian to Ukrainian vodka has been received so well from our customers. I can't tell you the positive feedback I've had through every possible channel. Everyone again just saying they wish they could do more. Everybody wants to help."

Since the invasion, many companies are distancing themselves from Russia. AirBnB's chief executive says it's suspending all operations there and in Belarus and Morrisons has joined the Co-op in banning the sale of certain vodkas.
