“We are all praying tonight for the peace and the safety of the people in Ukraine,” Cabello said. A poignant moment in the evening was a performance by young virtuoso violinist Illia Bondarenko who played the Ukrainian folk song “Verbovaya Doschechka” from a basement shelter in Kyiv along with 94 violinists from around the world.
Singers Emeli Sandé and Gregory Porter, violinist Nicola Benedetti as well as the gospel Kingdom Choir also performed. Unable to attend in person, singer Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas sent their support in a video message.
