Towards the end of February, Russia launched its military operations in Ukraine and the two nations went into war. It has been over a month since, and thousands of lives have been lost from both sides, according to CBC News. Besides the alarming number of casualties, Ukraine is currently amidst a massive economic crisis because of which many celebrities from across the world have come together to help the country.
Among them is Gujarati folk singer Geetaben Rabari who has been performing for massive crowds of NRIs in the United States in places like Atlanta, Kentucky and Houston. The audience showered the singer with dollar bills as contributions to Ukraine.
