What is more opposite to music?"
said Zelensky at the start of the pre-recorded video.
“The silence of ruined cities and killed people… Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars.
Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died.
And we’ll never see them drawing.
Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning.
Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again.
The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.
“Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos.
They sing to the wounded in hospitals.
Even to those who can’t hear them, but the music will break through anyway.
We defend our freedom to live, to love, to sound,” he continued.
“On our land, we are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs.
Fill the silence with your music!
Fill it today, to tell our story.
Tell the truth about this war on your social networks, on TV.
Support us in any way you might.
Any but not silence.
And then peace will come.
To all our cities the war is destroying, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Volnovakha, Mariupol, and others.
They are legends already, but I have a dream of them living.
Free like you on the Grammys stage.”
“We hope the segment inspires our worldwide audience to get involved to support these critical humanitarian efforts.”
