Saving her two daughters from Russian invaders, Polyakova left for Europe with them.. Then, the artist admits, she was scared that her life was over..

" That I no longer have a profession, that I will never hear applause again. Such a black depression fell on me. I just lay. We were in Munich at that moment, we had a room where the three of us were. I sent the children for a walk somewhere. I didn't have the strength to do anything. Absolute emptiness. Misunderstanding neither who you are, nor what you are, nor why you are. That your life is over,"

According to Polyakova, when she received an offer to perform at a charity match, she did not hesitate for a minute whether to agree:.

" They called me on the phone and said in two hours I need to fly to Athens and sing the anthem. They asked if I would sing? I said yes! I come there, my friends introduce me to one wonderful woman, she takes me under her wing, puts me in a beauty salon. They paint me there, they give me a manicure, a face mask, make-up. I'm wearing a friend's Italian shirt that looks like a vyshyvanka. She gave me another blue skirt. And now I sing this anthem of Ukraine. And for this minute that I sang this anthem of Ukraine, I understand that now the whole of Europe is looking at me. We are now raising money to help Ukraine.

And I sing, and this can help. I felt like I was breathing in air. As if I'm from the coffin, bl * d, I got up. Like I got up from the grave. At that moment, I completely came to life. And at that moment I realized that nothing was over," She explained that she realized that yes, this is a difficult test, but if it fell to our country, then we can deal with it:.

" But which for some reason fell on our fate. If it fell to our fate, then we can definitely deal with it,"
