Like many affected by the conflict, the couple shared that while they are Russian nationals, their family is based in Kyiv, Ukraine, and they “worry and pray for their safety in hopes that this difficult period will soon pass”.

“Our hearts go out to all those affected in Ukraine and their loved ones,” they added.

Alluding to the negative comments, which are no longer accessible online, the eatery said: “Even now, we wish for nothing but peace during such troubling times. We do hope that people can be kinder in their words and refrain from leaving further hate speech in this humble space that we have created.”

The post’s comments section has been filled with encouraging remarks asking the couple to ignore the haters.

According to lifestyle platform Alvinology, Dumplings.ru started off as a humble food kiosk before establishing itself as a restaurant in 2020. It is one of the only Russian-owned Russian restaurants in Singapore.

The dishes here are crafted with authentic family-owned recipes that have been passed down from over a century ago.

Unsurprisingly, the star of the show here is the pelmeni, a dumpling dish. These are similar to our Asian dumplings, but instead, are stuffed with ingredients like salmon, smoked bacon, potato and lamb.
