In 2018, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the future president of Ukraine, participated in one of their videoclips, LEGO.[1]

Shortly before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the band joined the Territorial Defense Forces, having previously served as volunteers since the annexation of Crimea in 2014.[1][2] In March 2022, the band made an appeal to perform remotely in the Concert for Ukraine, a benefit concert raising funds for those affected by the invasion. Their appeal included a message to singer Ed Sheeran via TikTok.[3] The band were refused a place at the concert due to their association with the military.[4] In response, Sheeran collaborated with the band on a remix of his song "2step",[2][5] with profits from streams of the music video being donated to Music Saves UA, a fundraising project created to provide humanitarian aid in Ukraine.[6]
