Chef Ievgen Mykhailenko told Newsweek: 'There's no lobster or rack of lambs, we just try to make the best of what we have got.'
While many in the U.S. will celebrate Christmas in the warmth and comfort of their homes, Ukrainians will fight to defend the very country they call their home.Even in normal times, Christmas would be different in Ukraine. A significant proportion of the country's population follows the teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the world's second largest Christian church.
Russia's invasion earlier this year prompted Mykhailenko to take on a new role as volunteer chef feeding Ukraine's special forces soldiers. As a self-declared participant in the previous revolutions witnessed in the country, Mykhailenko was eager to do his part to help. "When I was in the States I was trying to get into the United States Navy and passed all kinds of tests and learned a lot about cooking," he said."I researched what was the best food to eat and since then I have engaged with different veterans onwho offered advice and read books and nutrition guides specifically developed by the Army Special Forces."
It's hard work with days sometimes lasting from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. It was even harder at the start when volunteers were few and far between. At times, when assisting the army in Kyiv, Mykhailenko said he was helping make 1,500 meals, three times a day. Thankfully now he has a growing team behind him and he can see the effect his food is having on the soldiers.
