U2 Marks Third Anniversary of Ukraine Invasion with Support for Zelenskyy

To mark the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, U2 shared a poignant message from Bono, who read a poem by Taras Shevchenko accompanied by piano. In an Instagram post, Bono expressed solidarity with Ukrainians and emphasized the ongoing struggle for freedom, stating, 'All who believe in freedom and sense the jeopardy we Europeans now find ourselves in are not sleeping easily.' This message comes amid escalating tensions as Ukraine faces challenges in maintaining U.S. support, following Donald Trump's recent criticism of President Zelenskyy. U2 has been vocally supportive of Ukraine throughout the conflict, having visited the country and performed in Kyiv shortly after the invasion began. The band continues to advocate for human rights and freedom globally, reinforcing their commitment to the Ukrainian cause. Bono's reflections on freedom and activism were further elaborated in a recent op-ed as he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
