The Absolut Company, the Swedish maker of Absolut Vodka, has stopped all exports of its branded liquor to Russia with immediate effect following a consumer backlash.

The drinks manufacturer’s parent Pernod Ricard SA said earlier this month that product shipments to Russia had resumedBloomberg Terminal, which sparked an outcry in Sweden because of the invasion of Ukraine.
