Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, is under heavy shelling, with attacks on Saturday and Sunday killing at least seven people and injuring dozens of others, including four workers with chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen.
World Central Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that goes to areas affected by natural disasters or conflict and teams up with partner restaurants to provide meals to local residents. World Central Kitchen CEO Nate Mook on Saturday tweeted a video showing the aftermath of a strike that hit near a partner kitchen. "People live here, people work here, people cook here, and that's it," he said. "I don't know what else to say. Just absolutely horrific brutality."
