“Even though their country has been invaded unjustly, they’re confident they will win this war,” said Bart Scalla from the Responsibility Foundation.
Scalla got to meet Ukrainians firsthand in March. He went overseas to help deliver some drones to Kyiv. While there, he said he heard air sirens and missiles every night.
“It’s humanity right. There are literally people suffering right now,” said performer Henry Ammar. “People say, ‘Where is the good in the world,’ and it is us. It doesn’t have to be a big thing; it can be a small thing.”
