They performed hits like “With or Without You,” "Desire" and "Angel of Harlem," as well as a version of Ben E King’s “Stand By Me.” Bono invited Ukrainian singer Taras Topolya and his bandmates from Antytila—who are serving as soldiers amid the invasion—to join in on the latter song.

Bono assured the crowd there was "nowhere in the whole world" he and The Edge, would be than in Kyiv. Take a look at some of their performance below!
