"Ukraine" is a 2022 song by Russian rock band Nogu Svelo!. The song was released on 12 June 2022 on Russia Day to voice the band's opposition of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1]
The song was released on 12 June 2022 on major streaming platforms, the same day as Russia Day. On the day of the song's release, Nogu Svelo! frontman Maxim Pokrovskiy released a statement on his Instagram page, saying "For the previous 34 years of our existence, we have walked difficult paths so that now, at this point, at this particular moment in time, this particular song will be born. What will happen to us with all of us, only God knows. We only know that everything will be fine with Ukraine."[2]
Production
Production for the music video was directed by Alex Musin.[3] The video was filmed in the United States, near the border of states New Jersey and Pennsylvania in a location that Musin thought looked familiar in terms of landscape to Ukraine. Many actors of the music video were unpaid volunteers from Ukraine who wanted to appear in the video.[4]
