“We would like to represent Ukraine at Eurovision, and it would be an honor for us. We have invested great efforts, energy and time in it. We came to the National selection for this. But we don’t want victory at any cost. Our mission (sứ mệnh) is to unite people with our music, but not to sow the dragon's teeth. Therefore, we have a clear answer to the proposal of the National TV company – we won’t go to Eurovision-2019,” the message says.
