Spectators look at merchandise on sale in support of Ukraine prior to a concert of the Ukrainian metal band "1914" at the Proxima music club in Warsaw on March 25, 2026. Like other bands, "1914" is raising money for the Ukrainian army. Kumar is attempting to "open the eyes" of Europeans in light of the Kremlin's warmongering, showing that Ukraine poses as an "eastern shield". Their latest album, released in November 2025, follows the story of a Ukrainian from Galicia in their fight against Russia in the First World War. (Photo by Sergei GAPON / AFP via Getty Images)
