Episode 168: Two Years Into the Russian Invasion, Ukrainian Nightlife Is Thriving

Wine Enthusiast Podcast

Two years into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, nightlife goes on. Investigative reporter Adam Robb has been traveling into the country to talk to locals and document everyday life for everyday citizens who have been living amongst the backdrop of war.

Along the way, he learned how living amongst drone and missile attacks, drafts and daily deaths and injuries “brings out a real selflessness.”

Listen as Robb goes deep on his experience of the Russo-Ukrainian War through the lens of the country’s hospitality industry, how drinks professionals create safe spaces for their communities amidst crisis, why the Ukranian mixology scene warrants a place in the international spotlight and how he plans to help it garner the attention is deserves.
