“All who believe in freedom and sense the jeopardy we Europeans now find ourselves in are not sleeping easily on this, the third anniversary of the invasion”: U2 send message of support and music to President Zelenskyy and Ukraine

The Edge and Bono in Ukraine.

It’s three years yesterday (February 24) since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, and to mark that sad anniversary, U2 have shared a message and a piece of music in support of the country and its leader, President Zelenskyy.
