Wetherspoons has stopped selling Russian beer following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
The much-loved pub chain has said bottles of Baltika Lager - which is brewed in St Petersburg, the birthplace of Vladimir Putin - has been axed for its 870 boozers.
All bottles of the Russian beer - which cost £2.99 - will be returned to distributor Carlsberg.
Wetherspoons said: "In light of the situation in Ukraine we just felt that we could not stock it anymore.
"As of today all those beers won't be available in any Wetherspoons pub and either have been or are in the process of being returned to the Carlsberg distributor.
"We are not implying in any way that anyone involved with the brewery is directly involved with what's going on but we thought in light of the current situation our pubs don't want to be serving Russian beers."
Baltika Breweries' beers are distributed by Carlsberg Group, which as well as selling Carlsberg lager also supplies Heineken and Kronenbourg.
All these beers will still be available in Wetherspoons pubs as they are brewed in Denmark.
One employee at a Wetherspoons pub referenced boss Tim Martin, saying: "Big Tim doing bits to help the war effort, good lad."
Another quipped "That's it, Putin is fuming."
Baltika lager is the only Russian beverage sold by Spoons.
Spoons fans could be forgiven for thinking its popular Smirnoff vodka is made in Russia, given its branding.
But although the spirit was first made in Moscow, Smirnoff it is actually owned by London firm Diageo and produced in different distilleries around the world.
Many UK bars and restaurants are also stopping sales of Russian vodka.
Nightcap group, which owns venues The Cocktail Club, Tonight Josephine and Barrio Familia, has paused all sales of the clear alcoholic spirit in its 25 bars.
Other British brands are also changing how they operate following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Well-known CompareTheMarket adverts featuring meerkats with Russian accents are being pulled from TV news programming due to the war.
The adverts, which feature fictional wealthy Russian meerkat Aleksandr Orlov and a cast of supporting characters, have been running since 2009.
Orlov's catchphrase "simples!" has become widespread in the UK - and has even been used by Theresa May in the House of Commons.
But now CompareThemarket says it will temporarily pull the adverts from appearing next to TV news and content related to the Russia / Ukraine war.
It says it is doing this to be sensitive to the current conflict.
A CompareTheMarket spokesperson told The Mirror: "The CompareTheMarket meerkats are fictional characters. They have no association with Russia and the current situation.
“We are continually reviewing our advertising to ensure we’re being sensitive to the current situation.”
Cosmetics chain Lush has said it will close its 15 stores in Ukraine due to the invasion.
Lush chief executive Mark Contantine said all his staff in the country were safe, but that closing the stores was a necessary precaution.
Lush has six stores in Kyiv, the Ukranian capital. It also has two in major city Lviv, three in Odesa, two in Kharkiv and one in Zaporizhzhia.
The firm is trying to get its products to Ukranians to help them stay clean during the invasion.
