Here.  

“I understood that I had to fight on this frontline – this cultural frontline,”[Ievgen Klopotenko] said.

And then there is the unifying power of soup. Each Ukrainian family had its own, slightly different recipe, he said. “But it’s still borscht. Just like us Ukrainians – we are all so free and so different.”

He added: “The only thing this country unites around is borscht. You can like [President Volodymyr] Zelenskiy or not, but no one in Ukraine would say: ‘I don’t like borscht.’””
