“It was the greatest honor of my life to play my new song with a Ukrainian orchestra in the ruins of the Antonov airport in front of the beloved Ukrainian “Mriya”, the largest cargo plane in the world, cynically destroyed at the beginning of the war. Sharing this musical collaboration on such a sacred land, I saw with my own eyes the resilience and grace of the Ukrainian people, who, whether playing the violin or driving a tank, cannot be stopped by Putin's villainy and aggression,” said Ondrasik, commenting on the release of the video.
