Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello play Ukraine benefit show
STORY: Taking place in the British city of Birmingham, the line-up for the two-hour Concert for Ukraine also featured Ukrainian singer Jamala, who won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest and music veteran Nile Rodgers & Chic as well as groups Snow Patrol and Manic Street Preachers.
A poignant moment in the evening was a performance by young virtuoso violinist Illia Bondarenko who played ‘Verbovaya Doschechka’, an old Ukrainian folk song 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.
The show, broadcast on channels ITV and STV and during which viewers could make donations, also featured films showing relief efforts in Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion more than a month ago. Moscow has called it a "special operation".
