Following the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a bar in Washington, D.C., is forgoing the cocktail’s classic name in favour of “White Ukranian” and renaming its Moscow Mules with “Kyiv Mules.” The governors of Ohio, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Utah have halted the sale of Russian vodka in state-run liquor stores.
