How the mother of a Ukrainian soldier united hundreds of people to cook borscht for the Armed Forces

This video is a part of project Stories of female entrepreneurs from veteran families, created by ‪@shotam_info‬ .

The team of ‪@shotam_info‬ recorded the stories of women from different parts of Ukraine, who find the strength to do their own thing after a loss. In these videos: stories of women who save people from the occupation, sew and repair clothes for the military, develop their own communities, rally people around the protection of natural parks, buy cars for the frontline and create rehabilitation centers for the military.

The videos were created in cooperation with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Kyiv-Ukraine office.
