Representatives of the European Union, Sweden, and Ukraine joined members of Singapore鈥檚 diplomatic and media community to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Russia鈥檚 full-scale aggression against Ukraine through the 鈥淥ne Voice for Ukraine鈥 event held in Singapore. The programme featured a screening of the documentary Night Shift, highlighting solidarity with Ukraine and reaffirming continued support.
The commemorative event was organised in partnership with the Singapore Press Club, the Singapore Film Society, and other stakeholders, bringing together ambassadors of EU Member States, members of the international diplomatic corps, media representatives, and members of the public.

It also documents how the war has reshaped the cityscape and rhythms of life in Kharkiv, Ukraine鈥檚 second-largest city.
The premiere was inaugurated with remarks by H.E. Kateryna Zelenko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Singapore, and H.E. Artis Bertulis, Ambassador of the European Union to Singapore. Representatives reiterated their support for Ukraine and underscored the importance of international solidarity.

In line with statements from EU representatives, the event reaffirmed continued backing for Ukraine鈥檚 sovereignty and efforts toward a just and lasting peace.
Organisers noted that the screening aimed to highlight resilience, civic responsibility, and the human dimension of conflict. The gathering concluded with a renewed expression of solidarity from participating diplomatic missions and partners, with continued engagement expected through future initiatives supporting dialogue, awareness, and international cooperation.
