Combination of pictures shows dishes and cigarette served by volunteers to
A combination of pictures shows dishes and a cigarette served by volunteers to anti-government protesters guarding barricades during a protracted stand-off with riot police in Kiev, February 4, 2014. During the more than two months that Ukrainian anti-government protesters have been holding out in a tent camp and at barricades in central Kiev, during temperatures that frequently drop to -30 degrees Celsius, no one has been going hungry. The efficiency of the food supply system, organised by volunteers who cook up donated food and deliver it to the front line, shows an astonishing degree of self-sufficiency of the Maidan opposition movement. The barricade cuisine also shines a light on the variety of Ukrainian cuisine. The food in those pictures is displayed on pieces of plywood, that protesters use for making shields for street battles.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the resilience and resourcefulness of anti-government protesters in Kiev during a protracted stand-off with riot police. In the midst of freezing temperatures, volunteers can be seen serving dishes and even a cigarette to those guarding barricades. The efficiency of their food supply system is truly remarkable, ensuring that no one goes hungry throughout the more than two months of protest. Organized by dedicated volunteers who cook donated food and deliver it to the front line, this self-sufficient approach showcases the unwavering determination of the Maidan opposition movement. It is not just about sustenance; it symbolizes their unity and solidarity in fighting for change. The unique aspect revealed through this image is how Ukrainian cuisine plays an integral role in sustaining these brave individuals. The diverse array of dishes displayed on makeshift shields made from pieces of plywood highlights both their creativity and adaptability amidst chaos. Photographer Thomas Peter's lens beautifully captures this extraordinary scene, emphasizing the strength and resilience exhibited by these protesters as they continue to fight for justice against all odds. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to human spirit and reminds us that even in times of unrest, community support can nourish both body and soul.
