Anybody know what’s the situation with the matzah bakery in Dnipro?

The last few years, I’ve been buying shmurah matza that was imported from the Tiferet HaMatzot bakery in Dnipro, which has been a big supplier to stores in the New York/New Jersey metro area. They’re great tasting, and they’re half the price of locally baked matzos. (The ones I used on my k’arah last year were from the bakery in KJ, as I work around the corner from there, but for the rest of pesach I used the Ukrainian ones.)

So this year, that bakery is in the middle of a war zone. The store in Monsey where I’d bought them in the past has basically said they hadn’t gotten any, and weren’t expecting to. I’d have expected them to be done with the baking by this point and only having to worry about the shipping, but either way, if it’s not on the road by now, who knows if it’s going to be.

(As an aside, I went looking for it on GoogleMaps, and couldn’t locate the place. Poked around a bit and found that the address as stated on the box, which was 169 Geroyev Stalingrada Str, Dnepopetrovsk, does not exist. The city has shortened its name to Dnipro, and the street itself has been renamed for Bogdan Chmielnitzky ימ״ש. While I have great sympathy for the Jewish community of Ukraine, and certainly Putin is no malach himself, I could with that they did not venerate and erect statues to the architect of the ת״ח ות״ט atrocities. Although having a matzah bakery on his street is a good thumb in his eye; hope it makes him roll over in his grave.)
