"People are fighting for freedom, people are fighting for their home, people are fighting for their country, cities, villages. Here tonight is someone whose home was destroyed in Ukraine, wiped off the face of the earth. This is the reality tonight," Dan Reynolds began.
A Ukrainian man who told his tragic story to the world in a music video was invited to the stage. Now his house is slowly being rebuilt, and Imagine Dragons believe it speaks to the "beauty of humanity".
"No one deserves to have their home taken away, no one deserves to be sent to war in 2023. Let our leaders do something. We will stand together and this will end. The least we can do is tell stories of struggling people who have lost but not defetead," summarized Dan Reynolds.
To wild applause, Sasha brought the flag on stage and the band performed the song Crushed with his hand over his heart.
