VAL Quote from interview with TUT.by (with google translate):
“2020 was a difficult year, but also filled with a lot of incredible events. Although we will not represent Belarus at Eurovision-2021 because of our opinion on the socio-political crisis in our home country, we are incredibly happy to present you with Synthwave Remix on Da Vidna. Let's make this year better together, finally defeat the pandemic and give each other a lot of warmth” said VAL.
