Gogol Bordello tour heads to Boston, raises funds for Ukraine

Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz and Les Claypool of Primus have always fought propaganda with art. Both leaders of genre-defying rock acts more concerned with breaking rules than following formula, Hutz and Claypool watched with horror as Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Then the two went to work. To raise money for Nova Ukraine, a non-profit that gives humanitarian relief to the people of Ukraine, Hutz, Claypool, Sean Lennon, Police drummer Stewart Copeland and others recorded a blunt, bold charity single with a defiant tone, full of East-meets-West art punk grooves and lyrics that celebrate Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenksyy’s epic display of courage.

When the Pain Becomes a Part of You

“Nova Ukraine's new Vector of Resilience joint pilot project helps Ukraine's veteran support specialists address burnout and secondary traumatic stress.” The program's first residential trainings, launched by Nova Ukraine and its partners, were recently held in Ukraine's Volyn Oblast. Mariia, a support specialist, almost didn't attend. Leaving the veterans and families she supported for three days filled her with guilt she couldn't shake. She worried about how they would manage without her. But when she found herself among psychologists, social workers, healthcare professionals, and community specialists who shared the same responsibilities, something changed.

Today, Ukrainians defend and strengthen it every single day. The United States and Ukraine are separated by geography and history, but united by the belief that people have the right to live freely and determine their own future. In July, Ambassador Erin E. McKee traveled to Odesa and Mykolaiv to meet the people and organizations living that belief: Ukrainians leading recovery in their own communities, supported by partnerships that last.
