Vegan options in Poland?

Howdy, y'all; I'm planning a trip to Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine for
latter half of August. One of our group is vegan and only eats what
grows in the dirt. Kielbasa is a no-no.

Are there vegan choices on menus in restaurants in eastern Europe these
days?

TIA.

Not in all restaurants, but in touristic and bigger cities - Krakow,
Wroclaw, Poznan, Warszawa, Lodz, Lublin, Gdansk, Zakopane - you can find
entirely vegetarian/vegan restaurants.

Restaurants in smaller cities and motels by the roads - forget about it...
there kielbasa and kotlet rule :)

Just go to the local 'bar mleczny' (milk bar), and you will find a
whole selection of salads and soups for dirt cheap prices. Apart from
that, hit the closest supermarket, or just resort to drinking the
excellent Polish beer instead. Multivitamins are cheap and readily
available too.

Oh, and you have apparently made a bit of an effort to pick up the
local language. That should put you in stead for a good time in
Poland. It's a bitch of a language, and the locals love it when you
try to speak it - even if done very badly!

Some are. some aren't. Soups are trickey. I usually avoid soup when
travelling.

Nothing, unless you are a Vegan - who believe that yeast is animal.

Fish swim bladder extract is used to clarify beer.

Googling, I just discovered that at some point Bovril went vegetarian
and is based on yeast extract just like marmite and vegemite.
OXO balls next?
