Friends!

Friends! Ukrainians won the first "Cannes Lions" - the award of the most prestigious international festival of producers of advertising and social videos.

The Ukrainian movie "Witness" won the victory. It is about the tragedy of Babyn Yar. This work is a musical monument of terrible events that will never could be erased from our common history. The musical masterpiece of composer Svyatoslav Lunyov, written to the 75th anniversary of the tragedy, was built as an evidence of the wind - an eyewitness of those events. All power of music is emphasized by the voices of young artists who were able to convey the indescribable pain of lost souls.

It seems to me that this award is a great indicator for Ukraine. The sign that the world sees her endeavor, the country is developing. This is not only an award for unrivaled creative work - it's an advertisement of the country in the world, which is now very much needed in Ukraine. I thank those who created the video "Witness", made him so touching that hits the very heart. I am sure there are still many victories in Ukraine ahead, and not only the "Cannes Lions". I now invite you to watch a winning video and show it to those who have not yet seen it.
