Lead singer Jeffrey told The Sun on Sunday: “It’s about bravery — to keep going no matter how wounded and exhausted you are.
“It’s about unbreakable will, which makes you who you really are.”
Andrew added: “We wrote Heart of Steel when we saw a video of the defenders heroically standing at Azovstal.
“There was no fear or despair in their eyes. There was a fire burning there. We translated the emotions into music.”

They also thanked the UK for hosting the Eurovision final on Ukraine’s behalf.
Andrew said: “It really means a lot to us. We appreciate your continued support till our victory.”
The duo are raising money for neo-natal wards in Ukraine to cope with an upsurge in premature births as a result of Russia’s bloodbath invasion.
