Russian supermarket chain Mere is allegedly closing its first UK store in Preston following the invasion of Ukraine last week, according to reports.

The discounter - known as the “Russian version of Lidl” - has also reportedly paused plans to open more shops.

Mere is said to have told suppliers of its decision to shut and said its UK expansion plans have been halted due to the “political situation” in Russia and Ukraine.
