Solutions to win: Antytila band raises almost $250,000 for Ukraine’s Intelligence in US tour

The Ukrainian music group Antytila wrapped up the second phase of their "Culture VS War" world tour in the United States and earned ten million hryvnias.

The Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine (MCSCU) reported that.

The tour's goal was to showcase the reality of the war in Ukraine by sharing the experiences of artists who have either joined Ukraine's armed forces or are involved in volunteer work. According to reports, the musicians held open informal meetings in cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Washington.

During each event, attendees could view the documentary "Culture VS War," chat with musicians, sing along to their favorite songs, and engage in discussions on important subjects.

"In general, we held more than ten open and closed events and met with American politicians and diplomats of Ukraine's critical European partner countries.

We talked about the importance of continuing support to Ukraine, expanding its scope, and speeding up its provision now, not sometime later.

At every event, we emphasized the plight of Ukrainian prisoners of war who eagerly await their return home, the abduction of Ukrainian children, the cruciality of supporting the Ukrainian economy, the justification of banning the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine, and other significant issues concerning Ukraine," the leader of the group, Taras Topolia, said.

The collected funds will be transferred to the special units of Ukrainian intelligence working on the Crimea front.

The team also organized several auctions with unique lots, one of which was the reconnaissance UAV "Orlan-10." It was sold in Chicago for $15,000.

The Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications announced that the band "Antytila" collaborated with the Revived Soldiers Ukraine fund and United Help Ukraine to organize the "Culture VS War" tour in partnership with the "Look Ukrainian!" Association. The project was supported by "MHP- Community," with assistance from the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Armed Forces, and the General Staff.
