“This is a message to all cities in Ukraine that are shelled every day. Kharkiv, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Uman, Sumy, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Odessa, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Kherson and all others.
‘Europe, unite against evil for the sake of peace!’
Eurovision commentator Timur Miroshnichenko said: ‘Well done guys! For Ternopil, which is now being bombed, for Mariupol, which was bombed a year ago. For all cities and people of our country!’
Mayor Serhiy Nadal wrote: “It was at that 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.”
