Latvian youth in Berlin organize concert-lecture to remind of Russian threat and urge support for Ukraine
A concert-lecture in Berlin, featuring Latvian folk songs and Ukrainian women's stories, highlighted the need to support Ukraine and recalled the Russian threat to Europe, as Baltic people understand this danger better than many Western Europeans.
In Berlin, a concert-lecture titled "From Latvia to Berlin: Women's Voice for Freedom" was held, organized by the European Latvian Youth Association and the Germany-Baltic Future Foundation. The event combined Latvian folk songs, personal experiences of Ukrainian women, and contemporary European realities to foster discussion on security and solidarity.
Participants emphasized that residents of the Baltic states are more aware of the Russian threat – not only to Ukraine but to all of Europe and the world – compared to some Western European societies. The aim of the concert-lecture was to inspire attendees to support Ukraine and to remind them of the proximity of war, which remains a pressing issue.
Such events are part of the Latvian diaspora's efforts to preserve cultural identity while simultaneously highlighting important geopolitical issues affecting the entire European region.
