A 17-year-old boy from Italy, Francesco Crosato, has sent words of support to RT’s editor-in-chief. He has been unable to speak since birth, but his voice is louder than many others.

Francesco reads Dostoevsky, plays the Russian national anthem and 'Katyusha' on the piano, and writes songs about Donbass. He first discovered RT at the ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes’ festival in Italy. The films impressed him so much that he began studying the events in Ukraine himself instead of relying on Western media.

That is how the song 'Donbass, Red Land' came about: Francesco wrote the lyrics himself and created the music with the help of AI.
