“Every Ukrainian has a good memory connected with Kuzma's songs. He left a trace in everyone's heart. He taught us not to forget and call our real friends from the old photos, to come to see mom to sit together in the kitchen for hours. And, of course, he taught us not to be ashamed of our land, because everyone is a country itself,” Zelensky added.
