The singer

KRISTONKO

presented the new patriotic single BANDERA and the video for it, in which she appears in a completely different style.

From tenderness, the artist turns to strength and shows the character of a Ukrainian girl and the indomitable spirit of our people.

"It was 1 in the morning. I came up with the idea to make something that was not at all similar to the songs I had written before. I wanted to be not a gentle Christa, but Christina, who can also show character. Strength at the piano - and here the words were drawn in my head: "The enemy's body will lie in the Ukrainian black earth, we are sending the occupiers after the Russian ship!" This phrase stuck in my head so much that literally in 10 minutes, I wrote a whole song," the girl shared.

The singer admits that she did not even recognize herself in this track, because it is not similar to her previous ones.

"The song came out, which is filled with the energy of an ardent Ukrainian girl, faith and strength. I think this strength is immediately felt through the composition," she added.

In the song, KRISTONKO wanted to show "the indomitable spirit of victory, which is about to happen."

As soon as the listener hears the first lines, he immediately understands what a strong energy and passion the single is blowing.

"I'll be honest, I imagined myself with a pitchfork in my hands. And with those pitchforks, I'm an occupier and I'm burying them in our black soil. Hristonko began to live one day at a time. Don't be afraid to write a bunch of songs and think: "What if you suddenly don't like it?"

Two years ago, I started spreading and re-singing Ukrainian.

Unfortunately, only with the advent of the war, people began to appreciate us.

But better late than never.

And now I understand that before, when I sang something folk or patriotic, it was not completely accepted.

So now - I will be able to literally "like a fish in water" do what my soul wanted from a young age - to write and take care of ours!" - concluded KRISTONKO.

In the clip, the artist demonstrated two beautiful images with Ukrainian motifs.

First, KRISTONKO appeared in a bodysuit with a print of a Ukrainian scarf, a red miniskirt and a black jacket with embroidery on the sleeves.

The beauty's outfit was complemented by red boots, a flower wreath on her head and makeup with an emphasis on red lipstick.
