I want to thank everyone for all the support we’re receiving. There really is an incredible amount of it.
For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had.
And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.
World-renowned Dutch conductor and violinist André Rieu @andrerieu, together with Ukrainian-born singer Anna Reker, performed the legendary Ukrainian Christmas carol Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells).
It was performed live during the Johann Strauss Orchestra concert in Maastricht, Netherlands.
As Rieu admitted, he always thought that Carol of the Bells was an American Christmas song. But Anna, one of the orchestra's soloists, told him that the song was originally a Ukrainian carol and suggested performing it, to which the conductor agreed.
"We've let a war criminal drag us into a boxing match and made him the referee."
Reinier Van Lanschot, a Dutch MEP (member of European Parliament), says it's time to stop letting Putin set the terms.
He understands that Europe NEEDS Ukraine, which has become the hero wall for the continent. He calls for the protection of airspace over Western Ukraine, for starters.
"Let's back our gratitude for Ukraine up with actions."

🤬UEFA banned a minute of silence before the Euro 2026 futsal qualifying match between 🇺🇦Ukraine and 🇷🇴Romania, but it still took place.
The Ukrainians appealed directly to the Romanians. Instead of holding a minute of silence before the game, they agreed to do it directly during the match — after the opponent's ball was drawn from the center of the field. Both teams together honored the memory of the dead.
A big RESPECT to Romanians. UEFA is MAFIA!
