“Every day the images of families torn apart; of fathers, brothers, soldiers, husbands who have to 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.
Helene Fischer on the Ukraine war: “In my acute situation, that takes even more away”
“In my acute situation, it takes 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.” 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 human being. I think you know who I am 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”.
