I am a citizen of Ukraine, I follow the laws of Ukraine, I try to bring the traditions and values ​​of Ukraine to the world…

And also completely unacceptable wording that people allow themselves without understanding the situation and forgetting the dignity of every citizen of Ukraine

I do not want this virtual war and hatred. The main war is now foreign, which came to my country in 2014.

I do not want to be in this dirty story anymore. With a heavy heart I withdraw my candidacy as a representative of Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest. Unfortunately. I’m so sorry.

We will contact the State and sign all the necessary documents.

Separately, I want to thank all those who support and help me, who listen to my song and my important message. Thanks!
