There were many of the Ukrainian artists while russian aggression since 2014 joined to the volunteering, they were going out to our army with the concerts and looked money for needs even elementary things. Our society existed as if in two paradigms – as war was and as war wasn't. The tragedy of the February 2022 changed this for ever. The part of our artists, which hadn't realizing about war until that time, had joined to volunteering. The music symbols as «Good evening, we are from Ukraine», «Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow», «Stefania» opened a new phase of Ukrainian show business. The war became a creative trigger, as if it opened a new opportunity, lots of artists got into art and volunteer activities, and now they look necessary things and give their fees for Ukraine army. There were many of our artists joined for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Territorial Defense, they also continue arts activities.
