Ellie: It was an honour to visit Ukraine
SINGER Ellie Goulding has revealed she recently visited Ukraine, describing the experience as “one of the greatest honours”.
Goulding, 35, travelled to Kyiv to speak at the First Ladies Summit on Saturday and was hosted by Ukraine’s first lady.
Writing on Instagram, Goulding said: “This weekend I travelled as a guest of president Zelensky and the first lady, Olena Zelenska, to Kyiv to speak at the First Ladies Summit (and sing a little, somehow while I was there I learnt a beautiful and powerful song in Ukrainian, Chervona Kalyna).
“I can’t tell you what an emotional journey this has been. There’s too much to put into words right now but I stand in solidarity, awe and respect with the people of Ukraine.”
