“I understood that I’m not very good with the guns ... but I know that I’m a very nice warrior with a knife.'
When Russia began its assault on Ukraine in February, Ukrainian chef Ievgen Klopotenko’s gut reaction was not to pick up a gun.
“I understood that I’m not very good with the guns ... but I know that I’m a very nice warrior with a knife,” said Klopotenko, who is a household name across his country. “My aim and my mission in life is to feed the people.” Klopotenko said the majority of those eating the free meals have fled their homes in other parts of Ukraine and are making their way to Poland.
