You would think vegans would shrink from war, considering that they are too squeamish to abide killing animals for food as people have been doing since our ancestors came down from the trees. But they are doing their part for the war in Ukraine:

Ukrainian food and lifestyle festival Vegan Weekend is set to hold its sixth event in Kyiv since the invasion of Ukraine last year.

Founded by Every Animal, a vegan animal rights group in Ukraine, the festival began life after the beginning of full-scale war, and has raised one million UAH (USD $27,350) to date. The organization also looks after the project Vegan Kitchen of Ukraine, an initiative to provide vegan meals to refugees, volunteers, and military personnel, and send vegan rations to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

If Ukrainians have the luxury of worrying about vegan diets, Russia must be less of a menace than we thought.

Across the five Vegan Weekend events in Ukraine thus far, the organizers have seen an average of 600 people attending the events per day. Each event has seen around two-three lectures about vegan topics from local experts, including the history of veganism and plant-based cuisine in Ukraine. There is a vegan food court with three-five vendors, and an outdoor vegan market with 10-15 vendors. Entertainment is on hand, with stand-up comedy from the likes of Ukrainian comedians Vasyl Baidak and Anton Tymoshenko, as well as live performances from music artists and DJs.

Good to see Ukrainians are keeping up their spirits during times so dark that American taxpayers have to pay their salaries.

Meanwhile, in Israel,

While thousands of Israelis have been grilling steaks and flipping burgers for hungry IDF soldiers across the country, the non-profit Vegan Friendly is providing 2,000 hot vegetarian and vegan meals every week to those who steer clear of animal products.
