Poland, Germany host charity concerts in support of Ukraine

"TET and 1+1 International broadcast a charity concert ‘Together with Ukraine’ in Poland," the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine wrote on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that the main purpose of the event was to raise funds to be donated to the Polish Humanitarian Action, which operates a large-scale Ukraine assistance effort.

"I am grateful to the Poles for the friendship and joy of our two countries. Turn it on: it is sensual, beautiful, and very emotional. Soon Ukraine will win, we will rebuild and return the victorious, glorious concerts to our country," said the Minister of Culture and Information Policy, Oleksandr Tkachenko.

Thanks to the gig, PLN 2.8 million (about UAH 20 million) was raised for Ukraine. In particular, PLN 1.6 million was collected from SMS messages sent during the show. In addition, TVN Grupa Discovery paid PLN 1.2 million off tickets sold for the show, as well as advertising.

As reported, Polish radio broadcaster RMF Group has created a special project "RMF Ukraine", which airs the most important information for Ukrainians in Poland.

Also on Sunday, a charity concert in support of Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggressors took place in front of the Brandenburg Gate in central Berlin on Sunday, Ukrinform's own correspondent reports.

The wife of Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, Natalia Klitschko, addressed the audience.

"What is happening to my country now is terrible," the mayor’s spouse said, emphasizing that the world must unite for peace in Ukraine. She presented a new song "Better Days".

Famous German performers also took part in the show. German Culture Minister Claudia Roth expressed confidence that "music can transcend all borders and unite people."
