I admire the strength and courage of the people of Ukraine in their determination to reverse the theft of part of their country by Russia. Their effort clearly also helps to guarantee freedom in western Europe.
I use an image of the beautiful St. Michael‘s golden-domed Monastery in Kiew, which has apperently not been damaged so far, to combine its quatroscopic movements with the popular anthem „Prayer for Ukraine“, composed in 1885 by Mykola Lysenko and performed by the Choir of L‘viv National University (Marija Kamins‘ka, conductor).
