Їхній супчик для військових заряджений на Перемогу, адже приготовлений від щирого серця.
Вже більше року волонтери з благодійного фонду «Мурашки» готують сніданки, борщі, супи, другі страви, а також яблучно-горіхові десерти й галетне печиво для військових. Висилають такі
We sent this to scouts in Kharkiv region today. Anti-cold mixtures, honey & gingerbreads for their place of deployment. Biscuits, jerky, goodies & desserts for when they are on missions. No soups and porridges because unfortunately they can't boil water when on missions.
In order to continue working towards the victory of Ukraine, the Ants need to stay fit and healthy. That's why it's important to take exercise breaks, especially during sedentary packaging work :)
Volunteers at Ants Kitchen Hub always have a lot of work to do, including baking the most delicious gingerbread cookies for our frontline heroes 🇺🇦. And I totally agree with Lyuba, the ladies have done a great job!

Fellas, you can now support our mission of providing Ukrainian defenders with tasty, nutritious and convenient dry meals by buying us a coffee (a soup, to be more precise 😄)
Boosts and retweets are also appreciated
Thank you for every contribution ❤️🇺🇦
Russia intensifies its attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure. The war is not even close to over. We will continue to work to provide nutritious & convenient dry meals for our defenders every day until victory.

Today our amazing ladies are, among other things, packaging oatmeal with milk
The dish contains oat flakes, powdered milk, walnuts, dehydrated apples and raisins (no additional sugar because it is already sweet enough thanks to raisins and apples🍇🍏)
This is how the youngest Ukrainians show their support to our defenders. At Ants Kitchen Hub we make sure to include a picture or a letter from kids in every box of food we send to the troops. Many of the kids who were drawing these pictures in 2014 are now soldiers themselves.
One of our dishes — mashed potatoes. Contains potato flakes, dry chicken meat, fried onions, milk powder, cream, mushrooms & salt.
And a message we've received from our defenders: «Mashed potatoes are amazing. Everything is very tasty!!! Thank you»
Retweet, boost, write your own posts, create images etc.

tag must blow up as much as possible. Algorithms may be working against us, but I know that we are stronger 💪
We've received these flags from different military units as signs of appreciation. Being able to provide meaningful support to our heroic defenders is our joy and honor.
This unit's only vehicle was destroyed, so people from a local village used a horse cart to deliver water and food made by the Ants to the soldiers. These heroes are in a hard situation facing daily attacks.
We are Ants (Мурашки) - a volunteer center that produces dry food for the Ukrainian army. Our food comes in lightweight compact packs & is very easy to prepare (just add boiling water), so it is convenient for the soldiers to carry and use.
More info on our work coming soon :)
Please come! We do need help, especially that of strong fit men, and you can't miss your opportunity to meet some of the sweetest babusias in the world! 😄

We take compliance with sanitary norms seriously, that's why all our volunteers wash their hands thoroughly and wear gloves when they work with food. However, some gloves are almost transparent, so at first glance it may seem that people aren't wearing any when they actually are.

Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating it today! ✝️💕
Most Ukrainians are either practicing or culturally Eastern Orthodox, so we won't be celebrating until May 5th this year, but we wish everyone who is doing it today a blessed holiday.
Good morning fellas!

I personally prefer oatmeal in different variations (cooked or overnight with different add-ins) and cottage cheese with bananas ☺️

Boosting cause it's a really important piece of information. I received this today, too. Be sure to enable 2fa if you haven't done it yet.
@OmniaMutationes
The flag is Italian, it's a souvenir from Attilio who volunteered with us a while ago. But the red stripe does look a bit orangish in the video, so it may be easy to mistake one for the other :)
