Heineken has announced they will be ceasing production of the brand in Russia.

The production and sale of Heineken's iconic beer in Russia has come to an end. The company announced that it will no longer produce or advertise this product, effective immediately. 

Heineken's decision to "ring fence" their Russian business is a giant setback for the company, which will now have no involvement in any future operations or profits generated within that country. They had already driven exports and new investments offline as well with this latest move - it really puts them at risk without more support from parent organization The Heineken Company.

“We hope very much that a path to a peaceful outcome emerges in the near term,” the statement added.
