WAR

Last month the world was shocked by the unprovoked Russian attack  and subsequent invasion of Ukraine.

Once again we seem to have moved through the looking glass into a new reality.

We’ve just had another few weeks when decades happen, the upturning of the post Cold War world order so to speak.

For the present, the first hand accounts of life under siege is well described by Maksym Yenchenko, Inna Ustylovska and the UMDIS team on the ground in Ukraine.

It’s worth a look atwww.umdis.org/

UMDIS reports indicate that over half of Ukrainian mushroom farms ceased to operate following the invasion of the country.

We can only hope that the war is short-lived and in the meantime support the people of Ukraine in whatever way we can.
