The music and video project 'Ukraine' was conceived to commemorate that one year ago Ukraine was invaded full scale by Russia.
The video and track is the result of a cooperation between Ukrainian singer Mariia Arkhipova and music producer and guitarist Long Tall J from London and illustrates the suffering and courageous resistance and resilience of the Ukrainian nation. Included at the end of the video is a link to the website of the Prytula Foundation who supplies much required aid and equipment to the Ukrainian army.
The story line of the video ranges from hope and desolation to resilience from hell and yet new hope for victory. The music starts with a howling guitar line symbolising the plight of the Ukrainian nation and once we hear the sound of a missile flying over the powerful
and emotional vocals of Mariia take us through the different emotions and thoughts associated with this harrowing conflict.
Without Western support and aid the outcome of this war might have been very different. That is why it is of the utmost importance to assure that the flow of aid continues as nobody knows when the conflict will end. The eastern front is very long and many units of the Ukrainian army are engaged in battle. They need a constant supply of equipment as it is still not possible for the Ukrainian government to supply all that is required by themselves. The Prytula Foundation arranges the supply of various goods and equipment to military units that engage the Russian army in the hotspots of the battle. Requests for aid are placed directly by the commanders of these military units to the foundation. The foundation controls various warehouses where the aid is collected and dispersed from to the various units. All this costs enormous amounts of money and that is why every donation to the foundation counts.
The Ukrainian Army is fighting for the freedom and independence of the Ukrainian nation as well as for democracy and freedom of choice in the free world.
