Caption: Liev Schreiber Bakes Easter Bread To Help Demine Ukrainian Wheat Fields. Ukrainian-American stars Liev Schreiber and Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hütz, met in the legendary Ukrainian restaurant Veselka in New York to bake Easter bread (paska) this year. Their Easter bread is made from flour that comes from a demined field in the liberated Kharkiv region. The wheat this paska was made of was salvaged by a local farmer from the northern part of the region that endured constant shelling. The flour produced was exported to the United States, and partly used to bake this bread. “Ukraine is the breadbasket of the world. And what that means is that before the war, Ukraine was one of the top global suppliers of flour, supplying to almost 60 countries,” says Schreiber. “And if they're not able to produce that flour, it's not only a problem for Ukraine.” The UNITED24 fundraising platform will raffle 10 packs of it among those who donate $10 or more towards helping demine Ukrainian land. The Hollywood star adds: “So what UNITED24 has decided to do is to create a fundraiser particularly around demining. “There are so many reasons why demining is important in terms of getting the people back up on their feet, getting the country working again, making sure that people are safe, children playing in fields.”
