As russia continues its violent occupation of Eastern Ukraine, many Ukrainians have lost not only their homes but also pieces of their cultural heritage. This Independence Day and Miner’s Day, we sought to bring back a cherished symbol of Eastern Ukraine: the Miner’s Cake, a beloved chocolate dessert that captures the spirit of the East. To support the launch, we created a heartfelt, handcrafted video manifesto with lyrics that resonate deeply with Eastern Ukrainians. This initiative is not only a celebration of heritage but a message of unity, resilience, and pride, connecting Ukrainians with a taste and spirit of home, even from afar.
