Artem Vradii, co-founder of a Kyiv coffee roastery, was surprised that Ukrainian soldiers during the war requested ground coffee and beans, emphasizing the importance of coffee in Ukrainian culture. 'Despite the war, people were still thinking about coffee. They could leave their homes, their habits. But they could not live without coffee.'
Ukraine has a vibrant coffee culture, with coffee shops proliferating over the past decade. In Kyiv, small coffee kiosks staffed by skilled baristas are a common sight, offering tasty mochas for less than $2, becoming a staple in the city's streetscape.
