The surreal moment also conveyed a strong message to viewers around the world, urging support and dissemination of awareness of the ongoing war. “The war does not let us choose who will survive and who will remain in eternal silence,” Zelensky told the camera. “Our musicians wear armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals, even to those who do not hear them. But the music will leak anyway. “ He continued, “We are defending our freedom to live on our land. We are fighting Russia, which is bringing a horrible silence with its bombs. Fill the silence with your music. Fill it today to tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks, on TV. “Support us in any way you can — anyone — but not in silence.”
