"Zelensky's Tears" vodka being sold in Russia

Bottles of vodka labeled "Zelensky's Tears" are being sold on the shelves of Moscow supermarkets, a video circulating on social media appears to show, as Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces made gains in Ukraine over the weekend.

As Putin's troops launched an assault on Sunday near Severodonetsk, a strategically vital city in Ukraine's east, a video circulating on social media claimed that a bottle of vodka called "Zelensky's Tears" is on sale in Moscow's supermarkets, Newsweek reports.

The seven-second clip shows a man holding the bottle in his right hand. It reads "Zelensky's Tears" in Russian, with "limited edition" written below in English. The bottle also depicts the Ukrainian president apparently wiping a tear from his right eye.

Russian vodka brands include Putinka, Medvedevka and Yeltsinka. Now “Zelensky’s Tears” is apparently on sale at Moscow’s supermarkets. pic.twitter.com/zqybhDsFDd
