Ukrainians fleeing war may want to stay in Calgary permanently as conflict could ‘last for years’Sakson is a music teacher by profession and said the choir is always emotional and enthusiastic about being involved.Through a translator, Anastasiya Lukovtseva said she came to Calgary three months ago and is very appreciative to be involved in the choir as a Soprano.
“When she hears Ukrainian song and gets to sing as well, her heart is so joyful at that opportunity,” Sakson said. “Ukrainians are united and are stronger than ever and this is a country that will never give into the fight and they won’t be defeated because victory is on Ukraine’s side.” On Wednesday there will be a flag-raising ceremony and rally at the Municipal Plaza from 7 to 8 p.m. It also marks six months since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
