Singer Helene Fischer, who was born in Russia, was visibly moved at her first concert after a long break about the war of aggression in Ukraine.
“It breaks my heart to see that,” said Fischer at the “Snowpenair” festival on Sunday in Grindelwald, Switzerland. “Every day the images of families torn apart; of fathers, brothers, soldiers, husbands who must die. Of women who have to flee.”
On her top, the 37-year-old wore a small bow in the national colors of Ukraine – blue and yellow, and the stage was also illuminated in the colors, as can be seen on a video that was available to the German Press Agency.
“In my acute situation, this affects me even more. I’m incredibly emotional right now, built very close to the water,” she continued. “I just want to send a sign of solidarity.”

Helene Fischer was born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in 1984, but came to Germany with her family when she was a small child. “I absolutely despise what is going on and especially this one person. I think you know who I’m talking about. This one man who has too much power.”
Maybe the fans wanted to give something back after this beautiful day together and make a small contribution and donate or help, Fischer said to the applause of the audience. Then she sang Marius Müller-Westernhagen’s hit “Freiheit”.
