The leader of the Okean Elzy group, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, shared his opinion on which of the citizens of the Russian Federation can not be considered enemies. The musician believes that culture and sport can never remain out of politics. So everyone who is now silent about the war in Ukraine is simply supporting the enemy. " In war there is no " In war do you support the enemy. And to be silent is also silent support for the enemy, and then you are part of the enemy, and then my attitude towards you is like an enemy.. And there can be no compromises regarding the fact that someone is out of politics there: art or sports,"

At the same time, the singer said that he does not consider those Russians who were able to openly oppose the Kremlin's policy and sincerely hope for Ukraine's victory in this war as enemies..

" They say: " And they act separately in their separate world now, in their limited or not limited cultural space.. This is a completely different story: if they sincerely wish victory for Ukraine, then they should not be considered enemies,"

Recall that on the anniversary of the start of a full-scale war, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk personally congratulated our military and sang the anthem of Ukraine at the award ceremony for soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
