What about food?

  An army marches on its stomach.

    I think the question is - is food being mobilized to Ukraine?

      anecdotally - yes. We bought and brought some stuff following that https://www.facebook.com/lnyuz/posts/5490539337642083 https://www.facebook.com/lnyuz/posts/5490539337642083 (drop-off in San Jose, some people order stuff from Amazon with delivery right to there), and while i don't see food among the list of requested item, boxes packed with donated food were pretty prominent there (and even though food wasn't mentioned we actually brought food too - long term packaged high calories low weight, we thought that probably that may be needed too and it happened so, seems like many people do that).

      Anecdotally, I live in Ireland and a number of locals have mobilised to gather food and medicine to send it to Ukraine. Then I came across this article and now think this is happening across the country: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0308/1285137-ireland-aid-convoy/ https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0308/1285137-ireland-ai... I wouldn’t be surprise if many other communities in Europe are doing the same. The problem might be getting the aid to the right place.

      > I think the question is - is food being mobilized to Ukraine? Is the problem with food existence or food transport? My impression is the food problems are in besieged cities.

  There is a great risk of massive starvation in besieged Ukranian cities, where it's too dangerous for sheltering civilians to venture out and procure or supply food.
