European Parliament President Metsola and Dario Nardella, Mayor of Florence and President of Eurocities, launched the “Generators of Hope” campaign last week; a  campaign that calls on cities to donate power generators and transformers to help Ukrainians get through the harsh winter ahead.

These generators will help to keep essential facilities in the country running, providing energy to hospitals, schools, water supply facilities, relief centres, shelters, phone masts and more.

Yesterday, Roberta Metsola took to Instagram from Milan, where she posed with Bono, the legendary rock star, and said she was “explaining our #GeneratorsofHope initiative for Ukraine with global campaigner, rock legend, and all round great guy @u2’s Bono”. 

The legend herself described Bono as “ the man who first shook the world in concerts and then into action.”
