Awee...is that what that Ukraine pop band was asking Ed Sheeran to do ( while literally sitting in a trench somewhere)?

They seemed cute. I was surprised that they singled out Ed like that. But i guess he is bigger in Europe...

I saw that video while scrolling through TikTok.

Do you remember what they said?

I wonder if the artists were paid or they volunteered?

I hope there is transparency in how the funds are spent. I don't normally trust big charities

Is there any French users could verify this?

In France, 52% of the people believe Russia's side in the war.

well, of some random troll farm anarcho-fascist says it, it must be true!

10% of French people believe that Ukraine is run by Nazis, 22% think that Russia was acting out of security concerns, and 23% think that Russian-speaking Ukrainians would support Russia (which is a bit different from the first two, since it’s questioning the loyalty of Russian-speakers.) The opinions were highly correlated with being right-wing, antivaxx, and believing in conspiracy theories. And about 2/3 of French people support the ban on RT and Sputnik propaganda, which basically aligns with only the first two being pro-Russia takes.

Do you remember a little girl singing Let it go (Frozen) in a Kiev bunker during the shelling? She's just opened a charity event in Poland for Ukraine performing national anthem "Ukraine has not yet perished"... https://t.co/yxJo9jI1S8
