After performing ‘Heart of Steel’ – a song about troops who fought against Russian forces at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol – Tvorchi posted again saying: ‘Ternopil is the name of our hometown, which was bombed by Russia while we sang on the Eurovision stage about our steel hearts, indomitability and will.
‘This is a message for all cities of Ukraine that are shelled every day. Kharkiv, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Uman, Sumy, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Kherson and all others.
‘Europe, unite against evil for the sake of peace!’
Eurovision commentator Timur Miroshnichenko said: ‘Well done, boys! For Ternopil, which is being bombed now, for Mariupol, which was bombed a year ago. For all the cities and people of our country!’
Mayor Serhiy Nadal wrote: ‘It was at this time that our city was attacked by Russian missiles.
‘Thank you, because your speech has become a symbol of not only the unity of the country, but of the whole world.’
Russia is yet to make any official comment.
