“Ukraine above all.” Under this slogan, one of the local cafes invites the military for coffee. Its owner says: the idea was born suddenly.
Vladislav Radchenko, owner of the cafe: Thanks to them, this business now works, my business, the business of all people. A man in uniform comes – we treat him, a man in uniform comes, but presents a certificate of participation in hostilities or military.
The action started on February 22, but it is indefinite. Cafe barista Karina says: it is surprising that ordinary people are ready to support the military.
Karina, barista: Most of them learn about it from social networks and many people, just Poltava residents come and support the military by paying for our coffee in advance.
Since the beginning of the action, no military man has joined the coffee party. However, the owner of the cafe invites all willing servicemen to warm up with a hot drink.
The military says that not only the action itself is pleasant, but also such a warm attitude of the people to the military at this difficult time.
Roman Istomin, Head of the Press Service of the Poltava Regional CCC and JV: The military can and most likely will buy this coffee, but the initiative itself, the phenomenon itself is very pleasant and positive.
