Maria Zakharova, the Russian MFA, considers Ukrainian borscht to be an example of xenophobia, Nazism, and extremism. “They wanted borscht to belong to one nation so that the housewives could not prepare it in their own way,” Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said during the official press conference. "It’s all connected with ethnicity and culture in the first place. Even cookbooks were banned. Why? Because they couldn't share borscht. No, they couldn’t. It had to belong only to one country. Only the chosen people, the one nationality."
Artist
Renata is a graphic designer from Odessa. She was trained in drawing and decorating from a young age. Currently engaged in design development for Ukrainian companies. She believes in the victory of Ukraine over Russian fascism.

Artist
Alina Chernushenko is a self-taught Ukrainian artist, based in Lviv. She was trying to find the right place for herself in this life but opened the magic of the art world instead. Art always was her biggest passion, but the most important thing for Alina was to make her art reflective, powerful, and eloquent. When the full-scale invasion started, she realized that the paintings were her weapon too. So, she decided to create illustrations to document the war crimes and terroristic actions of Russia and show the real side of the Ukrainian genocide through art.

In the photo, bullet marks is seen in a vehicle with the inscription 'deti' meaning 'children' in Russian, in the city center of Bucha. "April 3, 2022, has seen reports of egregious crimes being perpetrated in Irpin and Bucha, Ukraine. Among others, media outlets reported on images of Ukrainian civilians lying dead on the streets of Bucha. Anatoliy Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, reported close to 300 killed. Fifty-seven people are said to be buried in a mass grave in Bucha. Dr Wladimir Klitschko, former boxing champion and brother of Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko, posted a video from Bucha stating that civilians “had been shot in the head with their hands tied behind their back. This is genocide of the Ukrainian population.” The video featured bodies lying on the street. These news come to light after Ukrainian forces retook the town of Bucha from Russian troops. While the Russian defense ministry denies that Russian forces killed civilians in Bucha, the reports have been verified by media outlets. Among others, Sky News has verified two videos showing bodies on the streets of Bucha." - Forbes, April 03, 2022
