Radio Khartia, a media outlet founded by Serhiy Zhadan in partnership with the 13th brigade of National Guard of Ukraine “Khartia”, will hold two charity online concerts on the eve of the Christmas holidays to raise funds to support the brigade’s patronage service.
Concerts by famous Ukrainian bands “Pyrig i Batig” (December 14) and “Zhadan i sobaki” (December 18) will be held with the assistance of AFINA Group, which has been actively involved in charity projects and assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. You can watch and listen to the concerts online on the pages of Radio Charter.
“The brigade’s patronage service takes care of our “charters” and their families, and we help them. The brigade is like a big family, it is important for us to stand up for our own, support our wounded fighters, families of the dead, families waiting for their loved ones, and, of course, children.”, – Serhiy Zhadan notes.
Radio Charter is an independent media project founded by Serhiy Zhadan in partnership with the Charter team. “Radio Charter. Acoustics” is a series of acoustic concerts by famous Ukrainian performers, broadcast live and in the format of a flatmate. Music is combined with conversations, the hosts of Radio Charter – Serhiy Zhadan, Alla Koshlyak and Dmytro Tretyak – communicate with musicians, guests and listeners, discuss news and current topics.
The folk band “Pyrih i Batih” will play a concert on December 14, combining a Christmas program (the new album “Kolyadnytsky”) and songs from the album “Zamordovani. Podzvin pershy” with the words of murdered Ukrainian poets and the album “Zeleny” – based on the texts of the great Ukrainian poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych. And the legendary rock band “Zhadan i Sobaky” will present their new album “Zlyy” on December 18. The funds raised will be transferred to the patronage service – the service unit of the brigade, which takes care of the families of soldiers and soldiers who have been wounded.
AFINA Group, the owner of TM “Vukhastyk” and the leading operator of the Ukrainian market in the areas of distribution and logistics, continues to be actively involved in charitable initiatives aimed at supporting Ukrainian society and the Armed Forces. Earlier this year, the company already allocated UAH 900,000 to support the National Guard of Ukraine “Khartia”, and this support for concerts will be another contribution to a common victory.
“We believe that everyone can contribute to supporting our country. Cooperation with Serhiy Zhadan is our opportunity to join forces for an important cause. We call on all those who care to join the charity concerts and support our heroes who defend Ukraine every day.”, – the representative of AFINA Group emphasized.
The company systematically provides assistance to the military and its own employees who are currently defending the country in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, AFINA Group has allocated over 10 million UAH to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and also provided over 50 tons of humanitarian aid to charitable foundations helping war victims.
