London Has Become a Hub of Ukrainian Strength for Two Weeks. This Is How They Commemorated 3rd Anniversary of Full-Scale Invasion in the Capital of Britain

A Ukrainian band ANTYTILA having just come back from foggy Albion to Kyiv are telling of the most prominent events, meetings, and results of a cultural and diplomatic mission.

 

A demonstration having united more than 10 thousand of concerned people into a loud voice of Ukraine that sounded all across the world

The band symbolically started their mission on February 24, which was 3rd anniversary of full-scale invasion. It was the day when a massive demonstration “Heartbroken but Unbroken” took place having united speeches of British, Canadian, and Ukrainian politicians, leaders of impactful community associations, and allies standing by Ukraine during three years. The ANTYTILA band have played a special hour-long live set – a loud voice of Ukraine sounding all across the world.

Due to joint efforts and initiative of Support Ukraine, namely the leaders of the organization Nataliia Ravliuk and Iryna Rapii, that evening at Trafalgar took place a synergy of more than 20 organizations presenting Ukrainian communities of Great Britain. Due to support of each of them, more than 10 thousands of people united under the motto having been announced from the stage by the soloist of the band Taras Topolia – ‘Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine’.

 

A working session with parliamentarians and state officials: discussing urgent issues instead of general requests

ANTYTILA always emphasize that their performances are more than just music. This mission had had the objective of cultural and diplomatic interaction and boosting international support of Ukraine. That is why the meeting with British parliamentarians was an important part of the trip. In the course of negotiations, they managed to bring the issue of urgency of supporting Ukraine from the Government of Great Britain up to date, discuss, for instance, specific ways of realization of assistance in the area of tactical medicine, rehabilitation of militaries, and supporting the children having lost their parents due to war. Additionally, substantive meetings with deputies on specific topics also took place which are to bring tangible results in perspective.

Another subject for discussions was the experience of SUPERHUMANS having become one more real case that helped to define current requests of Ukrainians. Ukrainian realias were not hidden under general messages – in Taras Topolia’s speech, the current situation in Ukraine sounded via the language of facts and figures.

 

A special screening of ‘Culture vs War’

A separate point of the program was a dialogue with British students as part of the project ‘Culture vs War’. It wasn’t the first time the band met British and Ukrainian youth to tell the truth about the war and experience the band’s members had gone through being at the frontlines.

 

Meeting with Valerii Zaluzhnyi and continuing an information campaign

The final event in London was the meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Valerii Zaluzhnyi. Among the key topics of discussion, there were an unprecedented number of people having gathered at Trafalgar Square and the importance of demonstrating unity in these times. Such specific moments develop a strong position of British politicians on supporting Ukraine both at international negotiations and with their voters inside the country.

And that was the message sounding in an interview ANTYTILA exclusively gave to the British news broadcast service ITV News.

The band wants to thank Support Ukraine, British-Ukrainian Aid Charity Organization, Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family of London, Orthodox Church of Ukraine, St. Mary’s Ukrainian Trust, Ukrainian Institute London, Association of Ukrainian Women in Great Britain, Ukrainian Youth Organization in Great Britain, Plast London, Ukrainian Children SOS, Women Fight For UA, Ukrainian Students League, and all the other organizations thanks to which the mission took place.

ANTYTILA express their special gratitude to Inna Yehorova and the whole Embassy of Ukraine in Great Britain and Northern Ireland as well as to numerous Ukrainian and British community for active support.

ANTYTILA have used their music and experience to bring an important message: Ukraine needs support now, and this struggle is not just for our existence and liberty, but for the future of democratic world.

  

“ANTYTILA” in London. The Band Has Performed at Trafalgar Square on 3rd Anniversary of Full-Scale Invasion

On February 24, 2025, the square Churchill once announced the victory over the Nazi grew crowded to the brim with thousands and thousands of Ukrainians and Britons. People gathered on 3rd anniversary of full-scale invasion to demonstrate the world that Ukrainians are gelled, that peace is impossible at the cost of Ukraine’s defeat, and that the war is going on and Ukraine needs strong support rather than negotiations with the enemy without Ukraine. Of course, they also gathered to pay tribute to the Ukrainian heroes having deceased, support the AFU with donations, and remind the world of Ukrainian prisoners-of-war who are to be brought back home via any possible way.

A massive event ‘Heart-broken but unbroken’ combined performances of British, Canadian, and Ukrainian politicians, leaders of impactful community associations, and allies standing by Ukraine during these three years. The ANTYTILA band played a special hour-long live set. It wasn’t a simple gig, but a loud voice of Ukraine heard all over the world.

During the performance, the band’s frontman Taras Topolia addressed Ukrainians and the world community with a powerful message:

‘There are more than ten thousand of us here today! This square if filled to the brim. The Ukrainians’ objective all over the world is to demonstrate unity and pressure those politicians searching the way to peace at any cost. The motto of today’s demonstration is ‘Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine’, and it has to be as loud as a bell in each and every European or American cabinet, square, or interview’.

Let us remind that on the first day of full-scale invasion, the musicians of the ANTYTILA band put musical instruments aside and took the guns having joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine as volunteer soldiers and started to discharge their civic and military duties at the frontlines. Today, the band went back to their musical activities and keeps telling the world their own story of resistance and the truth about the war and a heroic feat of Ukrainian people via their creative work, gathering tens of thousands of people and tens of millions of hryvnias for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at their gigs and doing whatever they can so that the topic of Ukraine kept being up-to-date in the world.

The band had time to share the brightest moments of the event in their social media.

“ANTYTILA” in London. Trafalgar Square Gathers Ukrainians for a Massive Demonstration and a Powerful Gig

To remind the world that the war is still going on, to commemorate those who left on the shield, and to support each other and everyone who keeps fighting Ukrainians will gather together in the place which will once again become the epicenter of Ukrainian spirit in Britain. 

Dedicated to the third anniversary of full-scale invasion of Russian occupants in Ukraine, on Monday, February 24, 2025, in London, an official public event will be held. 

 From 6.30 pm, on Trafalgar Square, performances of British and Ukrainian politicians, civic leaders, and allies supporting Ukraine during three years will take place.  And at 7.45 pm, in the heart of the British capital, a big live gig a popular Ukrainian band ANTYTILA will begin. 

‘This event takes place when further international support is vital. It is held aimed to   remind the world that the war in Ukraine is going on, and the struggle for liberty, justice, and victory does not  stop. In past years, the event gathered from 5,000 to 7,000 participants, but this year’s event is to become even more massive and we’re sure that this event will prove it to everyone — to defend their state, the entire Ukrainian nation have stood up in different ways in different parts of the world and they keep standing,’ inform the organizers of the event.

Regarding music content of the demonstration, we’d like to remind that the members of the ANTYTILA band left the stage from the first days of full-scale invasion having become volunteer soldiers and started to discharge their civic and military duties as paramedics at the frontlines. Today, after having been withdrawn from the frontline,  the band went back to musical activities and keeps telling the world their own story of resistance via their creative work, gathering tens of thousands of people and tens of millions of hryvnias for the Armed Forces of Ukraine at their gigs and doing whatever they can so that the topic of Ukraine kept being up-to-date in the world. 

’We’re preparing a special big Ukrainian and English program for the Trafalgar because on the square, there will be not only Ukrainians of Britain, but also British people we can definitely call our ‘people’. This means that even though they had never had a Ukrainian passport and were born far from Ukraine, they’ve always had the values and principles that are common with the ones of Ukrainians. And from the very beginning of this unjust war, they keep standing side by side with Ukraine during the whole time spent in resistance, they keep supporting and donating sharing our struggle’, points out Taras Topolia.

It should be noted that ANTYTILA previously announced two big gigs in Liverpool and Cardiff that will take place on February 28 and March 2, accordingly. The objective of the planned gigs is not just to bring Ukrainian music to the place and for the people that need it and not just to rally the Ukrainian community of Great Britain around the events, but also to raise the funds to support the AFU which already is a tradition.

Hundreds of Events, Victory in Court, Numerous Honors, and Assistance for Militaries worth More than 30 Million – ANTYTILA Have Summed up the Year 2024

The ANTYTILA band’s year 2024 was filled with such an enormous number of events, efforts, and achievements that would be enough for many years. Summing up we’ve pointed out the most prominent things: what the musicians lived for and what they kept getting up for every morning during the outgoing year.

The year 2024 for ANTYTILA WAS A COMMON OBJECTIVE

The ANTYTILA band’s OBJECTIVE has been the only one since 2014 – help for Ukraine in fighting against the enemy and boosting the right victory to come. In 2024, we managed to make our efforts massive and involve new complicated formats, venues, and audience.

Starting the year with a big charity gig in Kyiv Palace of Sports having gathered more than 8000 viewers and summing up with a tight concert schedule in Ukraine having given 43 mostly sold-out gigs during 50 days, in the course of the year, ANTYTILA kept completing diplomatic, informational, and cultural activities beyond Ukraine covering tens of towns and cities of Great Britain and the USA.

During the period of spring to autumn, more than 30 open informational events were held in cooperation with local and Ukrainian communities as well as the same number of closed events with representatives of the government, politicians, diplomats, business owners, patrons, public and cultural figures – at all levels ANTYTILA called for supporting Ukraine in economic and political aspects, and which is the most important – to provide help for Defense Forces of Ukraine.

From Harvard University to Washington Capitol – as war veterans and public cultural figures the musicians raised tough and important topics having given tens of interviews to foreign media. On stage, radio, and television, there were thorny questions of thousands of Ukrainian prisoners-of-war who are to be brought home at whatever cost with help of democratic world as well as on unreasonably slow supply of military assistance reciprocally influencing losses among Ukrainian people. The y also talked of the necessity to remove numerous economic barriers between Ukraine and the USA to make it possible for Ukrainian economy to grow and become stronger thus providing the AFU needs primarily in behalf of the victory.

ANTYTILA took part in numerous socially important forums, summits, and panel talks. Hours of video messages, thousands of comments and messages in private were sent and posted on social media. More than a hundred reports, comments, and materials were published in Ukrainian and foreign media. Constant non-stop communication went on the whole year. It might be invisible, but based on it, ANTYTILA have a dialogue with the world aimed to involve assistance for Ukraine and counteract the enemy’s propaganda.

We also visited numerous military hospitals and rehabilitation centers where the injured defenders are on treatment both in Ukraine and abroad with chamber concerts and warm talks. We shared our experience and advice with the students of Chernivtsi university and youth community of Ternopil. We supported the refugees from Mariupol in Zaporizhzhia with songs.

In summer 2024, ANTYTILA presented Ukraine with a big hour-long program at cultural television music festivals in Denmark and Poland as well having honorably presented Ukrainian culture and reminded once more about the war in our homeland.

The year 2024 for ANTYTILA IS ВДОМА.

In a busy schedule, missing the close ones ANTYTILA managed to record and release new hits “ТИ САМЕ ТА”, “ПОЛАМАНІ” and “ВДОМА”.

The latest song closes the year 2024 being on top in radio charts of Ukraine up to this day. The song and video have been received by Ukrainians all over the world very sensually followed by thousands of reviews, millions of views and streams on the Internet.

One more thing is, however loud that would sound, exactly in 2024, for the benefit of all musicians of Ukraine, ANTYTILA finally put the matter to rest in the trial lasting almost 6 years. The order of the Kyiv Court of Appeal forever eliminated the scammers’ possibility to screw money from authors using their patent.

This year, the musicians were awarded with multiple honors and distinctions from commanders of the units, the Chief of the DIU, and the Command of AFU Medical Forces for systematic long-term assistance and service.
Every hryvnia, every word, every meeting, support, assistance, promotion – every action aimed at bringing the victory closer happened due to unity of many people and hard work. Partners, charity foundations, NGOs, sponsors, patrons, private donors, friends, relatives, and acquaintances have created a cardiorespiratory system nurturing and moving important initiatives.

These are Revived Soldiers Ukraine and United Help Ukraine, Association «Watch Ukrainian!», «МХП-Громаді» Charity Foundation, Ukrainian American Community Center, Support Ukraine / London Euromaidan, Ukrainian Cultural Center and ANTYTILA Charity Foundation. These are KredoBank and UAME and their initiative Music Saves Ukraine.

We’re grateful for comprehensive support to communities of Ukrainians in Great Britain and the USA, and Antytila UK community who keep actively supporting Ukrainian army organizing their own fundraisers and exhibitions and being proactive and orderly.

We’re grateful to the militaries, our sworn brothers due to whom a lot has just become possible! We’re grateful to those who stand by our side and goes forward through years: to our relatives and beloved people, friends and partners, and everyone concerned.

ANTYTILA Have Gained an Important Victory IN COURT for all Ukrainian Musicians

A Big All-Ukrainian Tour of the ANTYTILA Band: 45 Gigs, 50,000 Fans, and Assistance for the Units of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine

Recently, ANTYTILA have finished their big all-Ukrainian tour as part of which 45 gigs in 43 towns and cities of Ukraine took place.

Right after coming back from a massive American tour in support of the project “Culture VS War”, ANTYTILA started their much-awaited tour around Ukraine. Most of the towns and cities hadn’t seen the musicians for more than 5 years. The songs from the MLNL album had become a base of the tour program most of which sounded for the fans live for the first time. Favorite hits like “2Step”, “Fortetsia Bakhmut”, “TDME”, “Viryla”, “Lovy moment”, “Liudy yak korabli”, “Molokom”, “Vse krasyvo”, “Buduvudu” as well as the newest ones “Ty same ta” and “Vdoma” were also included in the program.

During more than two months, the band’s team covered 10,000 km and managed to gather more than 50,000 fans at their gigs and other events in their tour. In this time, the premiere of the song “Вдома” (‘Vdoma’ / ‘At Home’) took place claiming the top spot of the summary all-Ukrainian radio chart for 4 weeks already. It was performed live more than 200 times in big cities and small towns of Ukraine!

Beyond the gigs having been planned, the musicians’ schedule included daily nonofficial meetings. The band visited numerous military hospitals and rehabilitation centers with chamber performances and warm talks to support our injured defenders staying there under treatment; shared their experience and advice with the students of Chernivtsi university and youth community of Ternopil; supported the refugees from Mariupol and Zaporizhzhia with their songs; and came to visit the guitarists’ – Dmytro Zholud’s and Mykhailo Chyrko’s – parents in their native Inhulets.

Despite air raids lasting for hours and not making it possible to hold the gigs, there wasn’t a single one cancelled. Moreover, due to high demand and buzz in Dnipro and Pivdennoukrainsk, ANTYTILA played one more additional gig in each of these towns. Another peculiarity of this tour for fans was the contest “Access the backstage”. Due to this initiative, more than 100 lucky ducks got a chance to personally meet the musicians and plunge into backstage atmosphere always being hidden from the audience.

A charity objective is an important component of each ANTYTILA’s gig. The all-Ukrainian tour wasn’t an exception. The auctions from the ANTYTILA Charity Foundation having already become traditional made it possible to raise around ₴2 million in the course of the fall tour. Those funds will go toward boosting the special units of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine operating in the Crimean sector. As for the final Kyiv gig having taken place in the Respublika SEC to mark its third anniversary, most of the musicians’ fees will be given for rehabilitation of the militaries via the Revived Soldiers Ukraine Foundation.

And we don’t stop with that! Follow the news of the ANTYTILA band. We have huge plans for the year 2025.

The ANTITILA band will end the all-Ukrainian tour with a charity concert in Respublika Park

On November 16, the largest shopping and entertainment center of Ukraine, Respublika Park, will celebrate its third anniversary with a large-scale charity concert. The headliner of the celebration will be the band ANTITILA, which chose the location for the final performance of its all-Ukrainian tour.

The concert will take place on the central square of the shopping center at 4:00 p.m. Entry is free for everyone. The event will be of a charitable nature: most of the fee from the Kyiv concert will be directed to the rehabilitation of the military through the Revived Soldiers Ukraine fund. In addition, an important component of each of the band’s concerts is a charitable goal aimed at the purchase of boats for the assault units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“We know that a lot is expected of us, and we will make every effort to ensure that the concert is held at the highest level, and that people get emotions and feel the atmosphere unique only to the ANTITILA band – where their own go to their own to support each other, and also all our people on the first line of defense. It is thanks to them that we can come to the cities with concerts,” says the frontman of the band, Taras Topolya.

All hits from the album “MLNL” will be performed live in the program, as well as favorite compositions from previous albums: “TDME”, “Virila”, “Seize the Moment”. A special place in the set list is occupied by the iconic wartime songs “2Step” (which was recorded in a duet with Ed Sheeran) and “Bakhmut Fortress”.

In addition to the main performance, visitors can expect a rich program with the participation of young talents. In particular, the winners of the All-Ukrainian charity competition Dity.Help.Music will perform. Among them are young performers who passed a serious competitive selection among almost 500 participants from all over the country, including those children who were forced to leave their homes and became internally displaced persons or refugees.

The special guests of the festival will be singer Myata, known for her unique combination of modern pop music with Ukrainian folk motifs, and DIBROVA, a musician and sound producer who gained popularity after a successful collaboration with Olena Topolea.

The highlight of the celebration will be a patriotic dance flashmob, which will unite all those present in a single rush.

“This concert is more than just a celebration of the mall’s birthday. This is a demonstration of the indomitability of the Ukrainian spirit and the unity of our people. Even in times of war, we continue to create, develop and support each other,” says Yuliya Shchaslyva, CEO of Respublika Park shopping center.

It is worth reminding that the Respublika Park shopping center, opened in November 2021, is the largest shopping and entertainment center in Ukraine. In three years of operation, it has become not only a trading platform, but also an important socio-cultural space of the capital, where cultural and charity events are regularly held.

The mall is located at: Kyiv, Kiltseva doroga, 1 (Teremky metro station). Organizers invite everyone to join the celebration and remind them of the importance of observing safety rules during mass events in wartime.

₴10 000 000 for Defense Intelligence and Speech in Congress: the Tour of ANTYTILA as Part of the Project «Culture VS War» Has Finished in the USA

In recent days, the second stage of a massive international tour of the project «Culture VS War» featuring ANTYTILA took place in the USA. The project «Culture VS War» is a series of documentary stories demonstrating the truth about the war in Ukraine via stories of famous artists and performers having joined the AFU as well as workers in culture leading active voluntary work. The tour «Culture vs war. Antytila» around the USA has been organized by the ANTYTILA band partnering with the Revived Soldiers Ukraine Foundation and United Help Ukraine, on the initiative and comprehensive assistance of the Association «Watch Ukrainian!», supported by the «МХП-Громаді» Charity Foundation , with the support of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Main Department of Communication of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The first stage of the project has been successfully realized in Great Britain.

In Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Washington open informal meetings of the band with American and Ukrainian communities took place. The key point at each event was screening of the documentary «Culture VS War» and a long sincere talk of the musicians with guests after watching the film. Documentary footage of the first months of full-scale invasion, honest emotions, and personal stories of the musicians of the band – soldiers Taras Topolia, Serhii Vusyk, and Dmytro Zholud about frontline work as paramedics had a really strong impression on the audience. And the opportunity to communicate live with the musicians, sing favorite hits together, raise tough and important topics, ask any possible questions, address for advice or just express their opinion and be heard gave each event its specific meaning.

The guests of the events raised the topics of supporting Ukraine themselves echoing the band members’ calls to resort to decisive action: to lobby for the tough topic of hundreds of Ukrainian prisoners of war, economic barriers, and permanents slowness of the American government in making decisions. ANTYTILA have called Ukrainian and American communities to affect the changes in economic and political aspect which are to bring oxygen to powerful military operations in fighting the enemy.

Another ANTYTILA’s important objective of the American tour supporting the project «Culture VS War» was taking part in closed events together with representatives of the government, politicians, diplomats, business owners, patrons, public figures, and workers of culture. Thus, private meetings of honorary consuls and ambassadors of European countries with the band members have been held by the Philadelphia City Hall. And the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York has organized a closed meeting of the musicians with the General Consul and representative of Czechia in the UN in the Bohemian National Hall. The Harvard University has invited ANTYTILA to talk to science and creative intellectuals on occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Ukrainian Science Institute. And the Washington Capitol has eagerly opened its doors within «Ukraine Action Summit» to make it possible that the band talked to senators as well as members of defense, financial, and state budget committees.

‘In general, we’ve given more than ten open and closed events. We met the vice-mayor of Boston, two American senators, consuls, and ambassadors of many key European partner-countries of Ukraine. We talked about the importance of going on supporting Ukraine, expanding the amounts and speeding it up right now and not somehow later. At each event we reminded about Ukrainian prisoners of war waiting for their returning home, about kidnapped Ukrainian children, about the importance of supporting Ukrainian economy, about the rightness of prohibition of ROC in Ukraine, and about other important topics for Ukraine’, gives his comment the band leader Taras Topolia.

Apart from informational and cultural objective of the American tour as part of the project «Culture VS War» there was also a charity one – to raise funds for the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. ₴10 000 000 is the total result of fundraisers ANTYTILA are coming back home with to hand it over for the needs of special units of Ukrainian intelligence working in the Crimean sector. 600 kilos of unique battle trophies have been brought to another continent by the ANTYTILA Charity Foundation as auction lots to be raffled among Ukrainian and American guests of the events. For the first time in the USA, a unique war artifact – a reconnaissance drone «Orlan-10» that used to be actively used by the enemy for monitoring and adjustment of artillery and remained safe and sound – was sold at the auction. In Chicago, this eloquent evidence of Ukrainian soldiers’ skill was sold for $15 000!

After completing the American tour, ANTYTILA have set off to a big concert tour around towns and cities of Ukraine going on accumulating funds for the needs of the Defense Intelligence

 

What Kind of Sky Is It at Home? ANTYTILA Present a New Song Devoted to Dearest Places

ANTYTILA present a new song and video «Вдома» (‘Vdoma’ / ‘At Home’) to remind about the most precious things – sweet home and relatives, close people

‘The aim of creating «Вдома» was for everyone who will listen to it to feel this kind of warmth inside. The warmth a person feels when they’re at home, on native land. The song was written to bring a bit of light into lives of Ukrainians during these tough times. To bring it to those heroes at the frontline fighting and struggling through unbelievable difficulties every day in Ukraine, and to those having been forced to leave their homes, temporarily staying abroad, and missing everything dearest to their heart and waiting for them at home. With its melody and lyrics, this song will help reach the place where everyone’s dear even if for a couple of moments. To reach home,’ the frontman of the band Taras Topolia comments.

 

Listen to the song on YouTube Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.

Working at the piece wasn’t that long, it was finished during a few weeks of August.

The video on the song was created to share love and nostalgia towards native places – those most memories are related to and those each of us is tied to with an invisible thread.

The ANTYTILA band together with a shooting crew spent seven days to travel around the whole Ukraine and save the mood and personality of free and so dear Motherland to each of us in the frame. Not all locations you can see in the video are easily recognizable and well-known but therefore they’re unique. Everyone will find something familiar and precious in these frames. Ternopil, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv, Kherson… and many-many other streets, squares, yards, and roofs of Ukrainian towns and cities having been cropped out in the frame. It was the crew of a director Dmytro Shmurak having worked at the video being familiar for earlier collaborations with ANTYTILA in «Танцюй», «Фари», and «2Step» videos.

You can hear ANTYTILA’s new piece live this fall already, from September 25 to November 14, at live gigs of the band as part of a big all-Ukrainian tour that will include 43 towns and cities of Ukraine.

For the first time in years, the band’s fans will be able to hear both their favorite hits like «TDME», «Лови Момент», «Вірила», and new songs «Поламані», «Ти саме та», «Фортеця Бахмут», «2Step», «Вдома», and others. Every gig of the band is a big program filled with strong emotions and deep meaning.
