Watch: 'Why I'm staying in Kyiv to bake hundreds of pies'

[BootinUp]

Daria lives in Kyiv and has taken the decision not to leave the city as Russian forces advance on her home.

Instead, the 28-year-old has moved to the basement of a local café where a small group of people are baking pies to feed Ukrainian soldiers.

Speaking to Radio 5 Live, Daria said she took the decision to stay in the city because she was born in an independent Ukraine and wants to "keep this independence for the future".

1. I wonder. Does that mean meat pies

or dessert?

4. They looked like "pita" or "burek," which are filo dough pies filled with meat or cheese.

I am pretty sure that is what she is making, particularly since the video also showed a big pot of carrots boiling, which would go in a meat pie known as "pirogi." Eastern Europeans don't generally make the crusted pies that Americans think of as pies. They make a "torta" or cake for dessert.
