Ukraine’s Ambassador to Ireland, Larisa Gerasko, has called for a boycott of Jameson whiskey after the brand re-entered the Russian market, albeit to a limited degree.
Jameson, owned by the French company Pernod Ricard, resumed sales in Russia late last year, citing the need to protect its local teams, as well as to avoid facing legal trouble over “intentional bankruptcy” in the country. Gerasko, however, has rejected the rationale, calling for a boycott of the brand until it withdraws completely from Russia.
“On the one hand, this company wants to protect a few employees, but tens of thousands of Ukrainians, every single day, have been killed by Russia,” the envoy told Irish media on Sunday, urging “all companies” to help Kiev and stop trading with Moscow.

Maybe a bottle of Jameson as a gift?

Of course Russia isn't killing that many military personnel every day because Russia is losing the war. He's speaking only of tens of thousands innocent women and children being killed every day.
That's how propaganda works. Fake numbers higher or lower than is real depending on the message being sent.

Jameson qualifies as a chemical weapon of mass destruction.
