Russian attack completely destroys Khortytsia plant in Zaporizhia
The Khortytsia distillery in Zaporizhia, part of the Global Spirits group, was damaged in a Russian attack and cannot be restored, NV Business reported, citing the company’s press service.
A Russian attack completely destroyed the Khortytsia distillery in Zaporizhia, owned by the Global Spirits group, according to NV Business citing the company's press service. The plant sustained four hits, burning for over three hours, leading to an estimated loss of 3-4 million bottles of finished product. Some bottles completely burned while others melted and need disposal.
Each bottle had an average value of about UAH 100. The attack occurred during a missile strike on July 19, 2026, which also destroyed Global Spirits' main finished-goods warehouse in the Kyiv region, causing losses exceeding UAH 100 million, including taxes paid to the state. Global Spirits, a major international alcohol holding company with brands like Khortytsia, Pervak, and Shustov, exported its products to over 87 countries.
The company revoked its Russian market license on February 24, 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
