As Ukraine remains engaged in Kursk and other battlegrounds, a Czech-based choir is helping buy essential products to support soldiers on the frontline.

The group is based in Litomyl and it's called Sonjasnyk, which means "sunflower".

Members are both locals and Ukrainians. They set up the choir in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in February 2022.

They released a Compact Disc called "Still a Little While, Ukraine Hold Still a Little While".

Singer and composer Pavel Helan says the choir wants to help for a little while longer before this terrible war is over."

Since they began, they raised over 2 million Czech crowns, which is about €80,000.

The money raised is used to buy medical kits and strapping.

They don't just sell music but also Ukraine-themed t-shirts and gadgets.

"We enjoy it because we can support our homeland from abroad and it keeps hopes alive for our future victory", says Ukrainian choir member Iryna Daineka.

"I think this makes our victory closer."
