This wind turbine is located at the Vindkraft Tavria’s Novotroitska wind farm in Kherson region.

The video shows symbolical born of Clean Energy from the symbiosis of a Man and the Nature.

After the media session, there was a video performance for guests with a demonstration of a possible scenario of the future life, which continued with Ruslan's live performance. The singer sang 4 songs in ethnology-style with a new mini-album dedicated to the power of clean energy.

As a pop singer from a pop scene, I dedicate this minute to clean energy! And I want to make the stars all over the world to do a minute on clean energy. And let there be more and more of these minutes. I dedicate it to the world on clean energy. All new songs were made and recorded only on clean energy – on 100% Renewables” - Ruslana announced at the beginning of her live performance.
