In Helsinki, Finland, outside the Russian Embassy, gathered a group of people couple of days ago to show their support to Ukraine. The choir sang a 100-year old song called "Terve Ukraina" (Hello Ukraine) written originally by Finnish poemist Eino Leino. Finland was standing then, and likewise is standing today, beside Ukraine.

The lyrics of the song in English:
Hail Ukraine! May your honour ring out, as a cry for the dawning tomorrow!
May your strength and the flame of your love demand, make a free land!
Proud Ukrain! Do not falter now!
The dawn of the nations will come one day.
Calmly and steadily repel your peril,
or flash fire if need be!
Beautiful Ukraine, the salt of nations!
You have the flag and we have the road.
With you in the storm stand Finland and Poland,
Also Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Forwards, Ukraine! You are not a slave, if you yourself wish and want it.
Do you hear the choir great and graceful like the sea of nations fading?
New Ukraine, wonderful, vast!
You wide streams glimmer,
And in your purple flowers of freedom blossom
Mordovia, Grusinia, Perm and the rest!
The time has come for the peoples of Europe to rise; break the chains imposed by the Tzars!
Shine; Ukraine! Ready your bow,
shine the road of Republics to come!
