Munitions sales; weapons, vehicles, uniforms.
But now there is a vodka being sold to help the Ukrainian forces in their war against the Russian invaders.
And it is no ordinary vodka.
Meet a 3-litre Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition with special packaging made from used artillery shell propelling charge cases.
The vodka is being distributed by SPYRT Worldwide, a veteran-founded importer that sells "Ukraine’s finest wines and spirits to the US" and online to the rest of the world.
The company's press release says 10% of the profit from sales is donated to Invictus Global Response, a team of US Veteran bomb technicians who clear landmines in Ukraine as volunteers and train de-mining teams.
“We’re incredibly proud to introduce the Ukrainian Spirit Howitzer Limited Edition,” said Sam Lerman, co-founder and CEO of SPYRT Worldwide.
“This release is far more than an extraordinary 3-liter vodka, as it’s [packaging] is hand-crafted from repurposed military powder charge tubes and finished with meticulous leatherwork.
"With a portion of all proceeds from the manufacturer supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this product allows consumers to directly support a powerful cause while experiencing exceptional quality.”
The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition 3-liter is bottled at 40% ABV/80 proof using SPYRT’s Ukrainian Spirit Reserve Vodka. It is made using a "single water" technology, in which the water, spirit, and vodka all originate from the same artesian well, first tapped since 1876.
This spring water is drawn from 200 meters beneath the pine forests of Volyn and combined with specially selected grain from the steppes of Western Ukraine.
If aesthetics are a concern, "each tube is carefully refurbished to restore its appearance and smooth out any dents from previous use".
The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition is available only in a 3-litre bottle and retails for $US999.99.
