haven’t seen that movie but it looks good, and agree Veganism is a privileged and myopic concept.

I wonder if the East-West conflict will resolve itself when Western Ukrainians realize that they we’re duped badly by the pro-US/Euro folks. Not exactly the prosperity that they were envisioning. A backlash could be coming.
