WAR IN UKRAINE ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Watch Go_A performing “Shum” in Warsaw during football game

POLAND – Far away, at the other end of the pitch, a Ukrainian footballer is scoring what later turns out to have been a beautifully worked goal.

That is something remarkable in itself but Oksana is talking and the backdrop has become a detail. She is thinking about the train she will board in around nine hours; it will return her to Kyiv, at last, and from there she will join the volunteer effort in Bucha.

The home she left is 10 miles further south, in Boyarka. Like most of the capitalโ€™s satellite towns, it has undergone its own visit to hell.

The participants file inside, walk around the pitch and, half an hour before kick-off, are dancing on a Ukraine-shaped stage in the centre circle alongside musicians such as Kateryna Pavlenko of Go_A, who represented the country at Eurovision in 2020.

The moment when the Ukrainian anthem plays, shortly after the teams have walked out, makes the hair stand on end.
