Oksana Bilozir, People's Artist of Ukraine and former Minister of Culture, entered a destroyed church in Sudzha (Kursk region, Russia) and sang the song "Іsuse mylyi" ("Dear Jesus"). The singer posted a video of her performance on her Instagram page. She also shared photos with Ukrainian servicemen.

The singer's actions received mixed reactions from social media users. Some expressed support and admiration for her performance, wishing her a "strong angel by her side". Others, however, urged Bilozir to visit Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines.

"Ms. Oksana! We are waiting for you in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region; this is Ukrainian territory."

As reported by the UOJ, in the St. Andrew's Church of the UGCC in Lviv, Ukrainian musicians Serhiy Zhadan and Khrystyna Soloviy filmed a music video promoting LGBT themes.
