On Sundays, the sale of alcohol is completely banned. The same ban applies on holidays and socially significant days, with a total of 14 dates on the list. These include New Year, Christmas, Victory Day, Student Day, May 1, and Children's Day.

Alcohol will also be prohibited from being sold in stores located in apartment buildings.

Cafes, restaurants, and other catering establishments are not subject to these restrictions.
