My guest is Maria Kotul, the leader of the Ukrainian children's choir, a person who, through music and creativity, helps young Ukrainians find support. Interview with Maria Kotul about the creation of a Ukrainian children's choir in Britain.

It was difficult for me to adapt in Britain, but when I see the eyes of children - everything becomes much easier!

How did the children's choir become a salvation for both the children themselves and their mentor? Why is it important to support talents during the war and how Ukrainian culture unites us abroad?
