According to Heinali’s social media, the “project’s mission is to encourage the international audience’s support of the Ukrainian army and humanitarian initiatives.“Live from Ukraine is a wartime statement on the subjectivity, vitality and resilience of the Ukrainian musical communities.”In a separate post, Heinali detailed ways to help Ukrainian musicians, such as offering short-term, paid work opportunities or purchasing existing works.“Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, international institutions and individuals have been offering numerous emergency opportunities for Ukrainian artists abroad,” he wrote.“However, for many Ukrainian artists like me, who have remained in Ukraine, international grant opportunities are virtually non-existent.

Most men aged 18-60 are banned from leaving the country by martial law. Many women stayed as well.“Artists’ prospects of taking up long-term projects or projects that require frequent online presence are limited by the persistent threat of airstrikes and internal displacement.

Hence, I urge you to consider my perspective on the grant opportunities that could genuinely help the remaining Ukrainian artists.” Much of the international music community has come out in support of Ukraine since the country was invaded by Russia on February 24.
