Two members of the Irish rock band U2 come to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyi invites them.

Bono is the singer. The Edge is the guitarist. They play in the subway in Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv. About 100 people watch them play for 40 minutes. Fans and soldiers in uniforms watch. The musicians say that they want to show support to Ukraine. They play some of the band’s biggest hits.

Russia attacks Kyiv in March. Russian soldiers never control the city. They move to fight in the east of Ukraine.

Difficult words: member (a person who belongs to a group or organization), subway (an underground train), support (a way to help).
