The moving words of Volodymyr Zelensky
“Dead silence. Fill this silence with your music“: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky again marked hearts and minds by speaking at the Grammy Awards, via a recorded video address. In a moving appeal, he urged the American music industry to support his country, which has been invaded by Russia.
“Tell the truth about the war, on your social networks, on TV. Support us in any way you can, all but silence. And then comes peace“, launched President Zelensky with his usual khaki t-shirt, before a performance by John Legend, joined on stage by Ukrainian artists, Mika Newton and Lyuba Yakimchukt. And two huge flags were erected on the stage of the MGM Grand Garden Arena from Vegas.
