Nataliia Bondarenko, who immigrated from Ukraine to Chapel Hill after the start of the war, joined Jeff Hamlin on WPTF Afternoon News to discuss an extraordinary event this Thursday. "Cultural Forces of Ukraine: Live Concert and Stories from the Trenches" will feature world-class Ukrainian musicians who are now active-duty soldiers, offering a powerful blend of live performances and personal stories from the front lines of the war with Russia. Bondarenko highlighted the evening’s performances, including the bandura, a traditional Ukrainian string instrument, which symbolizes the enduring spirit of Ukraine.
