Zelensky’s letter was translated by the Ukrainian embassy and begins: “Dear participants, organizers and guests of the festival, for more than seven decades the Sanremo festival has been heard all over the world. You hear his voice, his beauty, his magic, his victory. Every year on the shores of the Ligurian Sea she wins the song. Culture and art win. Music wins! And this is one of the best creations of human civilization. Unfortunately, for all the time of its existence, mankind creates not only beautiful things. And unfortunately today in my country shots and explosions are heard. But Ukraine will definitely win this war. She will win together with the free world. You will win thanks to the voice of freedom, democracy and, of course, culture.”

Today this Victory is created and obtained under extremely difficult conditions. Thanks to our defenders! Thanks to them courage, indomitability, invincibility. Hundreds of songs have already been written about this, and you’ll hear one today. And I’m sure that one day we will all hear our victory song together!”
