The Russian Crematorium group was banned from entering Ukraine due to the fact that it performed in the occupied Crimea. In the near future, the band was scheduled to perform at the Atlas Weekend festival, but now it will not be able to arrive. This became known from journalist Alexei Pevchev, who published an open letter to the leader of the "Krematoria" Armen Grigoryan on his Facebook page.

In the message Grigoryan states that the ban was introduced on the basis of information published on the website "Peacemaker", where it appears that the group played in the occupied Crimea in 2015 and 2016.

The musician accused the site "Peacemaker" in inciting hatred and enmity and noted that in this way "people are pushed foreheads".

"We are musicians, and for us the most important thing is creativity.

Despite the political situation between the two countries, we still accepted the invitation of the organizers of the Atlas Weekend international festival to perform there, because we sincerely believe that it is music that can unite peoples and settle the world in politically mutilated souls! ", - said the frontman.

Earlier reported that the vocalist of the group Chizh & Co was included in the list of the Peacemaker for the concert in Crimea.
