New Forest for Ukraine - Flying the Ukrainian Flag in SolidarityJoin us as we celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day at St Thomas Church, Lymington, on Saturday 23rd August 2025. This special day is inspired by the powerful and symbolic song “Chervona Kalyna.”
Often central to Ukrainian Independence Day celebrations (held annually on August), Chervona Kalyna has taken on renewed meaning since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. It has become an unofficial anthem of resistance an emotional tribute to fallen heroes and a powerful pledge of continued defence and national pride
In 2022, the BBC’s Soul Music programme featured the song, highlighting its emotional impact and how it inspired Pink Floyd to reunite and release their own version Listen to the moving episode here with some powerful Ukrainian stories: BBC Soul Music – Chervona Kalyna (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001fm2r)
