I'm at a @WCKitchen restaurant in Kharkiv, where less than 24 hours ago I was meeting with their amazing team," Mook wrote alongside a video of himself standing amongst burnt out cars and severely damaged buildings.
On Sunday, Mook shared an update from Kharkiv, indicating that the injured staff "were doing well" and the restaurant team were in the process of moving "all food products & non-damaged equipment" to another location in the city.Andrés has also taken to Twitter to address the strike, as well as provide an update on the well being of staff at the restaurant.
