WCK CEO Nate Mook announced the terrible news on Twitter, writing: “An update I hoped I would never have to do. I am in a restaurant @WCKitchen in Kharkov, where less than 24 hours ago I was meeting with their amazing team. Today, a rocket stuck. 4 staff members were injured. That is the reality here – cooking is a heroic act of bravery. “ Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, was pounded by Russian bombardment all week with dozens of dead, including at least three children. In the midst of the disaster, Andrés himself posted an update on WCK staff: “Thank you to everyone who is interested and sends wishes to the team in Kharkov. ». It ended with: “Many ways to fight, we do it with food!” To all those who are interested and send wishes to the team in Kharkov, thank you, the injured are well and everyone is ready and willing to start cooking in another location. #FoodFighters @WCKitchen All our friends are TRUE heroes! Many ways to fight, we do it with food! 👊🥘 – José Andrés (@chefjoseandres) April 17, 2022 On Sunday, Mook posted a video of the organization’s staff already rebuilding at that other site in Kharkov. “The work does not stop! “Today, the restaurant team is moving all the food and undamaged equipment to another kitchen location in Kharkov,” Mook wrote. “The injured staff are doing well – and the whole team here wants to keep cooking. Really awe for the bravery of our collaborators at @WCKitchen! “ An update I hoped I would never have to do. I am in a restaurant @WCKitchen in Kharkov, where less than 24 hours ago I was meeting with their amazing team. Today, a rocket stuck. 4 staff members were injured. That’s the reality here – cooking is a heroic act of bravery. #ChefsForUkraine 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/AyU4fUnA61 – Nate Mook (@natemook) April 16, 2022 Also Sunday, the executive director of the UN World Food Program, David Beasley, told Face the Nation that he saw warehouses and food warehouses being blown up – facilities that contain nothing but food. “There is no doubt that food is used as a weapon of war in many different ways [in Ukraine]”he added. Food depots are being bombed by Russia, says UN chief @WFP Beasley, who has argued that hunger is being used as a weapon by Putin. – Margaret Brennan (@margbrennan) April 17, 2022
