Occupiers put Ukrainian champagne, stolen from Bakhmut, up for auction (photo).


On one of the websites where Russians trade various items, a sale of certain 'souvenirs from the SVO' has been found - a legendary bottle of champagne from the Ukrainian producer Artwinery, which was seized in the occupied territories. This bottle of champagne has already attracted interest at a Russian auction.
The lot description states that this is a bottle of champagne from the storage in Bakhmut, a city in Donetsk region that was captured by Russians in the spring of 2023.
Propagandist Bella Lieberman posted a video shot in the gypsum mines of Artwinery - one of the largest wine producers in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. In the clip, the occupiers marvel at the size of the mines, comparing them to a city beneath a city.
The starting price of the lot is 30,000 Russian rubles, but given that the lot author has not been online since April 2024, there are doubts that he will be able to send the auction winner the alcohol.
