President in video address calls festival the ‘greatest concentration of freedom’ in the world
Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged the crowd at Glastonbury to put pressure on politicians to end the war in Ukraine.
Zelenskiy said Ukraine would “not let Russia’s war break us”, adding that he wanted to stop the war before it ruined people’s lives in other countries of“They are all under threat now. That is why I turn to you for support, Glastonbury is the greatest concentration of freedom these days and I ask you to share this feeling with everyone whose freedom is under attack.
The message was played before a stage-opening set by The Libertines. Later in their set, the band’s singer Pete Doherty started a chant of “Volodymyr Zelenskiy”, with the crowd joining in and cheering.
