Since 2014, our volunteer team, thanks to friends, caring citizens and Ukrainians from all over the world, has collected, purchased, delivered, handed over to the front military and humanitarian equipment worth more than 30 million hryvnias.

From February 24, 2022 till today, 150 tons of humanitarian goods were delivered by our teams to the de-occupied and front-line territories, dozens of cars were transferred to the frontline of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and dozens were repaired, and hundreds of lives were saved.

We implemented the large-scale Ukraine Exist project at the UN headquarters, during which time we provided dozens of units with the necessary ammunition, electronics and medicine.

All this is thanks to the community of friends who have become part of our volunteer movement, as well as thanks to people’s trust.

We didn’t have time to talk about many things, but the time has come.

From today, our volunteer initiatives, all our long-term activities are being transformed.

And from now on, it will take place on one single platform of Charitable Foundtaion “ANTYTILA”.

We created and named the foundation “ANTYTILA”, because the most valuable thing we have is our reputation.

Almost six months ago thousands of Ukrainian civilians joined the military to fight invading Russian forces. Among those who signed up were members of one of Ukraine’s top rock bands, ANTYTILA. They became Army medics in Kharkiv helping to treat wounded soldiers. The BBC joined them as they headed to the front line.

Version for Ukraine and all over the world will be available soon.

Hello (English version) – Official music video: https://youtu.be/YTS8oXf_QVE

We wanted to present our new album «MLNL» in radio and TV studios, but we did it from the basement of Territorial Defense battalion headquarters, because we took an oath and became military men; because russia had waged war against our motherland. Therefore, ANTYTILA have swapped their musical instruments into guns, but our music has remained changeless.

You can order the new album «MLNL» via the link. Options of ordering from abroad are also possible.

Glory to Ukraine!

Important message!

Due to declaration of martial law in Ukraine owing to russian aggression having led to deaths of thousands of Ukrainians, destruction of infrastructure of Ukrainian towns and cities, and due to military service the ANTYTILA band are doing in the Forces of Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the east of the state, all gigs of the stadium tour MLNL are postponed to the year 2023.

We’re working out the new dates of the gigs and will let you know them as soon as possible. All the tickets remain valid. We thank our fans who keep waiting for our coming back to the stage despite everything!

For now – we work every day to bring our Victory day as fast as we can. Everything’s gonna be Ukraine.

Ed Sheeran and the ANTYTILA band present collaboration – a remake of the track 2Step from the last album of the British artist where Taras Topolia sings in Ukrainian. An official music video has been released on the band’s YouTube channel. Impressive scenes of wartime and a moving personal story of Taras Topolia – all these are embodied in the video.

«Ed’s offer to work together is the expression of that real support to Ukraine being demonstrated by the people of Great Britain during this war. Millions of people show how it is to stand for your principles, democracy and freedom for real not only with words but with exact actions and give their shoulder to those who need it for sure. It would seem a simple collaboration, but it’s so symbolically.

It appeared to be quite difficult to compose and record the Ukrainian lyrics to Ed’s song in those circumstances we experienced then. Beyond that, the Bobina Records studio where we usually recorded our own songs was under occupation of russian freaks. But thanks to Maksym Syvolap, a friend of ours and an unchangeable co-author and arranger of many songs, we coped with our part», tells Taras Topolia.

YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE SONG OR DOWNLOAD IT HERE http://es.lnk.to/2S-Antytila

In Ukrainian lyrics of the song 2Step, Taras Topolia is telling his own story of how the war began for his family. And it’s not only his personal story, it’s a story of millions of Ukrainians whose families were broken apart by dreadful bombings and the war.

The shooting took place in Irpin, Kyiv, and Kharkiv region where the musicians of the ANTYTILA band had come as part of the battalion 130 of the Territorial Defense to strengthen the eastern grouping of land forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

What about the idea of the video, it traditionally belongs to Taras Topolia.

ANTYTILA mention that they devote this video to the memory of a Ukrainian director Dmytro Manifest whose life was cut short too early.

The video was directed and produced by a friend of Dmytro Manifest Dmytro Shmurak. Together with his team, he managed to realize everything being supposed to in the shortest possible time, professionally and faultlessly, understanding that the ANTYTILA band wouldn’t be able to join the shooting fully.

«There are people eager to follow you through hell and high water. It was exactly my friendship with Manifest having helped me understand that doing anything with half efforts is senseless. Life is very rebellious, and that’s why when ANTYTILA had asked me to support them and actually be a producer and shoot the video on my own, I agreed immediately, though I understood it was a very complicated task. Together with my team we tried to do our best so that the work would be successful. If Dima were alive, he would have definitely been together with us at the filming location. There’s the only thing I’d like to address to the guys: come back alive!» shares his thoughts Dmytro Shmurak.

All the funds received from monetization of the video on YouTube as well as royalties will be given for the charity project Music Saves UA, the project of All-Ukrainian Association of Music Events: https://musicsavesua.com/uk .

Recall that the ANTYTILA band have joined the Territorial Defense prior to the war. And since the first day of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation the members of the band have swapped their musical instruments into guns and went to defend the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. For the moment, the musicians are located in Kharkiv region together with their battalion.

Today we have swapped our musical instruments into guns 🇺🇦
They have invaded our state.
They have meanly attacked the cities throughout all our country.
They have killed thousands of our citizens and go on doing this today.
They have been demolishing our people, our land, our culture, and our statehood through centuries.
However, regardless of exaggerated imperial majesty, we still resist roughly, and we’ll be doing this FOREVER.

ANTYTILA were preparing the new album feeling the irreversibility of horrible events which was aimed to inspire and support Ukrainian people, to raise Ukrainian culture in the world.
Today we have swapped our musical instruments into guns to defend Ukraine and joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And you, our dear fans, women waiting for their men, and our children, our future generation – LISTEN, download, share, and unite. There are strength and victory in unity.
All the rest doesn’t matter now.
The album is available via the link: https://orcd.co/mlnl
