    All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Swiss Solidarity to help the victims of the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland.

    The threat of winter looms for the people of Ukraine

    On 10 and 11 October, cities across Ukraine, including Kyiv, were again subjected to deadly bombing raids. They have been causing not only civilian deaths and injuries, but also great psychological suffering and severe damage to civilian homes and infrastructure. In many areas, the population no longer has access to water, electricity, sanitation and adequate healthcare. With winter fast approaching, Ukraine is facing the prospect of a massive humanitarian crisis.

    Helping victims of the war in Ukraine

    The funds raised through this Sony Music Switzerland initiative will enable Swiss Solidarity to continue supporting projects aimed at helping the people of Ukraine as they prepare for winter. The money will also go to help people displaced within Ukraine and those who have had to flee to neighbouring countries, by providing them with necessities such as food, medicine and emergency shelter.
