Ukraine: Army Violinist Lifts Soldier's Spirit With Billie Eilish's Song

Watch: Army Violinist In Ukraine Lifts Soldier's Spirit By Playing Billie Eilish's 'Lovely'

Internet was impressed with Mr Bondarenko's efforts

Amid war, Moysey Bondarenko, a professional musician serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine has taken the responsibility of keeping the spirits of their comrades high by playing beautiful melodies. A Reddit user by the name of Migoodenuf has posted a short clip on his account, showing a beautiful version of American singer Billie Eilish's Lovely on violin by a soldier. 

In the video, a big group of soldiers can be seen sitting on the ground, listening to music played by violinist Bondarenko. The heartstring-pulling video is making the internet smile and appreciating Mr Bondarenko's effort of keeping the comrades distracted from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.  

The video was posted on September 16 and so far it has received 99,000 upvotes and 68 comments.

Watch the video here: 

Internet was impressed with Mr Bondarenko's efforts. A user wrote, “Surreal and beautiful - Like the hearts and souls of all the defenders,” another user wrote, “This scene will be in the movie they make about this war. Beautiful.” “Beautiful and amazing music. The violin can be both haunting and uplifting in the hands of a master like Moisei,” the third comment read. 

In an old interview, Mr Bondarenko in an interview with Zenger News talked about his love for music and how he ended up in the army, “Most of my neighbours in the village were gypsies, they are insanely musical people, they spend all the time with guitars, singing songs.” 

"At the age of 17, I graduated from school, left for Kyiv and entered the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. Before the war, I lived in Kyiv and was in an orchestra. We were supposed to perform a concert in Mykolaiv when the war broke out.

Bondarenko told Zenger News: "I was inspired to sign up for the army by Alexander Yarmak, a Ukrainian musician and family man who volunteered for the war in the very first days without any hesitation.”

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
