Taste of Freedom Launch at Dog Tag Bakery to Help Ukrainian Prisoners of War
By • February 24, 2025 0 421
Days before the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, the non-profit Heart of Azovstal teamed up with Dog Tag Bakery February 20 for “Taste of Freedom.”
Heart of Azovstal, founded by Ukrainian businessman Rinat Akhmetov, gives support to Mariupol defenders. Taste of Freedom is a new project that plans to raise international awareness and help in the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war. During what both Dog Tag Bakery and Heart of Azovstal call a “long-term partnership,” they will exchange experiences and valuable insight about the reintegration of veterans into society. Dog Tag Bakery will also help promote Ukrainian culture and traditions.
We were at a lunch and ceremonial cutting of the Cossack honey cake, a winning cake selection hosted by a panel of celebrity judges in a recipe contest for Ukrainian veterans hosted by Ukrainian TV channel 1+1.
Cake sales will continue through March 20, and whole cakes will be available for purchase or pre-order. Sales include a card with the name and story of a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
