Artem Pyvovarov fulfilled the dreams of the children of fallen defenders at a concert in the Palace of Sports

As part of the social project "Make a Dream Come True," musician, songwriter, and sound producer Artem Pivovarov fulfilled the dream of the children under the care of the Children of Heroes Foundation to meet him in person at a concert at the Palace of Sports. Twelve dreamers joined the event — children of fallen defenders who lost one or both parents as a result of Russian aggression.

The story of 10-year-old Polina Skrypkar's acquaintance with her idol began with a short video, to which Artem unexpectedly responded. For the girl, this was an essential moment of support, as her father was fatally wounded on August 9, 2022, while performing a combat mission. The girl admitted that Artem became a source of energy and inspiration for her:

"I dream of meeting Pyvovarov. I went to his concerts, so I dream of talking to him."

Among the participants is 12-year-old Kira Martynenko, whose father defended Ukraine in 2014 but was killed during the shelling of Kupiansk on December 1, 2024. The big war took away the right to childhood from 9-year-old Kamila Havrylchenko, who was to flee her native Luhansk. Her father, a soldier in the Defense Forces, is now considered missing in action.

Natalia Solonik, host of "Closer to the Stars" on TET and the project's mentor, came to support the children in fulfilling their dreams. During a personal meeting, the fans spoke with Artem, took photos to remember the moment, and then attended a concert at the Palace of Sports, where they enjoyed their favorite songs.

"For me, this meeting is a huge responsibility, because I want to be a source of motivation for the children. I am sure that among them are new artists, doctors, and military personnel growing up. Children are our future! It is an honor for me to meet them today. And how nice it is to see their sparkling eyes and smiles, to hug and talk to them," shared Artem.

You can learn more about the realization of this dream in the video on the official pages of 1+1 media on Instagram and Facebook, as well as on Sunday morning, December 7, in the new episode of "Closer to the Stars" on the TET TV channel.
