“At first, we were losing our breath from the heat, and then from the love to the people having come. The atmosphere in Odesa was very special. Maybe, it was the festive mood of the Independence Day, or, maybe, Odesa citizens had been waiting for us for long at the stadiums, or maybe, we had missed the drive after Poltava. Or, maybe, everything came together. We remembered how the whole pitch was lifting off to the beat in tandem to the song “Ми”. Nowhere was such a unity”, – Taras Topolia commented.
