We recently learned of Cultural Forces, the cultural arm of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, through our own James Hetfield.

@culturalforces.international features seven world-class artists, all professional musicians before the war who are now active-duty soldiers. The group just completed a 170-show tour of gratitude in the United States. Seen here, Taras Stoliar (Honored Artist of Ukraine/PFC, Reconnaissance Operative, 112th Separate Brigade, Territorial Defense Forces) plays "Nothing Else Matters" on a 62-string bandura, a traditional Ukrainian folk instrument. With the conclusion of this tour, he is now returning to Ukraine, back to the front.
