«Ukraine will return!»: TNMK dedicated a powerful song to the temporarily occupied Enerhodar
Even at the beginning of the full-scale war, the Russian military occupied the Ukrainian Energodar.

Meanwhile, the popular Ukrainian band Tanok na Maidani Kongo (Dance at the Congo Square) decided to dedicate a song to the temporarily occupied city, which was called «Enerhodar is Ukraine!».
«TNMK presents the song «Enerhodar» – a dedication to those who found themselves in the occupation. Ukraine has not forgotten anything, Ukraine will return. Ukraine will thank you. Enerhodar is Ukraine.»
By the way, the composition talks about the fact that invaders have come to Ukraine who want to take the country for themselves. However, Ukrainians must stand up and defend themselves from enemies.
«The invaders occupied Enerhodar, they are killing, torturing and terrorizing the population, trying to intimidate, break and in every possible way assure everyone that the occupation is for a long time. This is not true. Because Enerhodar is Ukraine,» the musicians noted.
