Pink Floyd recorded a new song, the first in almost 30 years, in support of the Ukrainians, the famous band announced.
A musical number called "Hey, hey, get up!" (Hey, Hey, Rise-Up) was released on Friday and will be used to raise funds for humanitarian needs.
In a press release, band leader David Gilmore said that he was moved by Andrij Klivniuk's video: "It was a powerful moment that motivated me to include it in the music track," said Gilmore.
He spoke with Klivnyuk, who is in a hospital in Kyiv, where he is recovering after being hit by shrapnel in a mortar attack, the record company said.
"I played him part of the song over the phone and he gave me his blessing. We both hope to do something together in the future," said Gilmore, whose daughter-in-law is Ukrainian.
He expressed hope that the music track will receive wider support and publicity.
"We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities and boost morale. We want to express our support for Ukraine and show that the majority of the world thinks it is completely wrong for a superpower to invade an independent democratic country like Ukraine," said Gilmore.
The image accompanying the song is a sunflower, inspired by a viral video of a Ukrainian woman shaming two armed Russian soldiers.
In the video, she tells the soldiers: "Take these seeds and put them in your pockets. That's how sunflowers will grow when you're all buried here."
It is Pink Floyd's first original music since 1994's The Division Bell.
Gilmore tweeted his opposition to the war shortly after the Russian invasion, saying, "Putin must go."
The band also pulled their songs from Russian and Belarusian music platforms in protest of the invasion.
