Today I found this song that exemplifies the struggle of humanity for Freedom:

FREEDOM is broadcasting for those looking for the truth about what is happening in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Russia and the world.
Ukrainian journalists, joined forces to create unique and high-quality content that counteracts fakes and disinformation.
FREEDOM is an important word for the whole world. Ukrainian foreign broadcasting for audiences outside of Ukraine promotes the values of democracy, and a free society through high-quality journalistic content under a logo that embodies the very essence of Ukraine, Europe, and all the free people of the world.
Now on the territory of Ukraine, there is a struggle for the freedom of the entire civilization, which gave us a reason to call the state channel for foreign audiences the most understandable and simple word for billions of people – FREEDOM.
Ukraine is an example of the struggle for the values of freedom – our TV channel in Russian is called upon to explain this.
The word “freedom” in different languages is now synonymous with the heroic struggle of millions of citizens of both Ukraine and allied countries for democracy, human rights, the rule of law, the principles of equality against authoritarianism, dictatorship, and the usurpation of power.
The name of the channel FREEDOM is a reflection of Ukrainian leadership in protecting civilization from the barbarism of Putin or other totalitarian regimes.
It is we who have the honor to represent today the voice of a free, independent, democratic Ukraine abroad, and our name is not just a name, it is the essence of our ideological position, which will win!
