Ark is an animated video created specifically for the performance of the spiritual anthem “O Great and Only God” (Bozhe Velykyi Yedynyi), performed by Taras Topolia with the participation of Ukrainian religious leaders and chaplains, Keith Kellogg, Mark Bjornson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and others at the Prayer Breakfast of the President of Ukraine in Kyiv, 2025.

In the hardest moments, Ukrainians become one. As we did in February 2022. Regardless of faith, ideology, race, or anything else — there is a place for everyone in our Ark. Because independence is not just a word. It is dignity and solidarity. It is resistance to violence. It is you and me. It is a home that exists wherever those closest to us are. It is trust. It is the memory of those who defend our tomorrow. The entire hull of the ship is composed of 34 words — marking the years of independence. They are written in different languages so that the world can understand what Independence means. A terrifying seven-headed serpent seeks to consume us — a prison cage tightening in darkness. But together, we are the light that darkness cannot overcome. On this path of struggle, we are not alone. We have true friends — those with whom we grow ever closer, and who fight the serpent in their own ways: sanctions that weaken the empire; military aid; countless volunteers and supporters. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4)
