Greetings from Ukrainians
"Our voices, the embassies of Germany, France and the United Kingdom and Ukrainian artists, merge in ‘Shchedryk’ as a sign of support and solidarity with Ukrainians.
For more than a century, the legendary ‘Shchedryk’ by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych has been heard around the world as a symbol of Christmas. Back in 1919, its flowing polyphony won the hearts of Europe, and later America as well, revealing Ukraine to the world as an independent nation with its own voice. And it continues to do so to this day," the German embassy noted.
