In this episode we hear from Yuri Yastavny, co-owner of Pravda Beer in Lviv, Ukraine.

It was just after 5am on 24th February when news of the Russian invasion reached the Pravda craft brewery in Lviv, in western Ukraine. Pravda had just started making one of their award winning beers. On finishing the beer they decided to release the recipes for five of their beers, encouraging other breweries to use them to raise money for humanitarian aid.
Since then the initiative has gone viral with hundreds of breweries around the world collaborating in a show of solidarity and helping raise money for aid.

This is an inspirational and moving episode in which Yuri talks about the war and the determination, stoicism and strength of the Ukrainian people.
