TL;DR

Absolut Vodka, owned by Pernod Ricard, has stopped exporting its products to Russia again after a backlash in Sweden. The company initially halted exports in March 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, but some exports had resumed, sparking fury. Pernod Ricard said it was exercising its "duty of care towards our employees and partners" and could not expose them to criticism. The move comes after top bars and restaurants in Sweden pulled the drink from their shelves, and politicians condemned its export, following media reports it was being sold to Russia.
