A Ukrainian director of Leicester’s newest aparthotel is raising money to provide hot meals to hospitals, soldiers and civilians in her homeland.
Snizhana Yesaulenko, who sits on the board of the company that owns the Gresham in Leicester’s former Fenwick store, is raising £25,000 to support the work of field kitchens set up in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
She said the kitchens are being run by 220 volunteers, mainly mothers, partners and wives, who are working around the clock to feed those in need in the besieged city.
