A Kiev diplomat explained why Ukrainian artists continue to perform in the Russian Federation
There is no need to label Ukrainian artists who perform in Russia as traitors, since they do not support Crimea’s entry into Russia.
Former Director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Voloshin stated this on the air of the 112 Ukraine TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Life itself sets its accents. The problem with the current government is its attempts to play with emotions. Some slogans are being thrown around... “Look, he is an agent of the Kremlin because of this and that.” And a purely emotional reaction, no one tries to delve into it. For example, why do Ukrainian artists perform in Russia? Not because they support the annexation of Crimea, it’s just a huge market, it’s just easier to make money there. That’s all,” the diplomat said.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian artists have flocked to Russia because concert fees in Ukraine have dropped sharply.
