A small Russian town has been flooded with fruit juice following the collapse of a warehouse in the Lipetsk region.
Two people were injured when part of a storage center owned by global food and drink giant Pepsico collapsed in the town of Lebedyan, the Gorod48.ru news site reported Tuesday.
Several tons of juice flooded the streets close to the warehouse, leaving locals and rescue workers wading home in sticky puddles which covered the pavements and the roads.
Pepsico owns a number of Russian brands, including popular fruit juices such as Fruktovy Sad, Ya, and Lyubimy.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
