Ukraine is confronting one of its most severe energy shortfalls since the start of the full‑scale invasion, with the country currently able to supply only about 60% of its electricity needs.

The colognes and perfumes, priced at $249 a bottle, are marketed as symbols of “Winning, Strength, and Success” and come encased in gold-colored bottles shaped like miniature Trump statues.

Despite the controversy, the fragrance is already trending online, with reactions ranging from mockery to admiration. Fragrance reviewers describe the men’s scent as “woody and spicy,” while the women’s version leans “citrusy with a vanilla base” — though some note its short-lived wear.
