Music and Morale in a Country at War
Briefly

"As Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine nears the end of its third year, music has become an important way to keep people's spirits up and a pillar of Ukraine's defense."
"Concerts have become an important way for the stretched military to collect donations for the war effort, with many musicians donating their time and money to support the cause."
"The band penned a radio staple titled Fortress Bakhmut, an ode to Ukraine's yearlong defense of the eastern city that fell to Russian forces in May 2023."
"One charity they support is Musicians Defend Ukraine, which seeks to provide musicians-turned-soldiers with vehicles and other equipment they need at the front."
