Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.
Russian military forces hit #Ukrainian grain facilities for a fifth day this week. Our main character today is Katrya, who saved her sourdough starter from her hometown while on the run from Russian forces.
As Katrya Kalyuzhna fled her hometown of Kherson due to the Russian invasion, she grabbed the things most precious to her in the world: her two cats, of course; the keys to her van…
… and her precious, five-year-old sourdough starter.
"going through so many Russian checkpoints, their questioning and other disgusting things: driving through the gray zone, the no man’s land between occupied and Ukrainian held territory…the sound of artillery shelling, it was endless."
