War Brings Personal Grief and Public Solidarity
Daniella Zayushkina, the frontwoman of the Ukrainian band Vivienne Mort, has disclosed that someone very close to her suffered a severe wound while serving on the front. She shared the devastating news on the social media platform Threads, stating that her loved one is currently in intensive care. 'My close person is a heavy 300 [military code for wounded], hit by a kamikaze drone. He is in the ICU and they are allowing me to sit with him,' Daniella wrote.
She added in her post:
'I talk to him, hold his hand, and realize that I wrote all my songs just so I could sing them to him now—so he can hear them through his sleep, recognize me, and know that I am here and I will not let him go.'
