Before Sting began singing in the company of the cellist Ramir Belgardt, he strongly condemned the actions of Vladimir Putin, who decided to aggress the Russian troops against Ukraine:
I have only sung this song a few times in the many years it has been written because I never thought it would matter that much again. But in light of one man’s bloody and woefully erroneous decision to invade a peaceful, harmless neighbor, the song is once again an appeal for our common humanity.
In the following words, the singer addressed the citizens of Ukraine and those Russians who oppose aggression and war in Ukraine:
For the brave Ukrainians fighting this brutal tyranny, as well as for the many Russians who protest against this outrage despite the threat of arrest and imprisonment – we all love our children. Stop the war.
Sting gives an address in Poland where gifts for Ukraine can be sent
At the same time, Sting shared the address where medicines, clothes or food can be sent to help the Ukrainians. “Deliveries sent to this warehouse in Poland are delivered in agreement with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and there is a guarantee that they will reach the most needy” – writes the musician. The seat of the organization is in Poland:
Pol-Cel – Rampa Brzeska 63, 22-100 Chełm, Poland
Each box should be marked “HELP UKRAINE” and describe the contents: “medicines”, “clothes”, “food”, “humanitarian aid”. Sting also gave his fans phone numbers in the UK and the United States, where they will find more information on how to help, and thanked the Polish director Małgorzata Szumowska for helping them in contact with the appropriate organization.
In the song “Russians”, released in 1985 on the artist’s first solo album, Sting sings, among others:
There is no such thing as winning a war, this is a lie I no longer believe
There’s no such thing as a winnable war, it’s a lie that we don’t believe anymore
– and:
Despite our ideology, we are united by biology. Believe me when I say I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology, believe me when I say to you, I hope the Russians love their children too.
