The famous Ukrainian showman Alexey Mochanov stated this on the TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He recalled that the main sponsor of the festival is a major Russian businessman, owner of the Russian Alfa Bank, Mikhail Fridman, who was included in the “Kremlin report” published yesterday in the United States.
“We could lose, for example, Alpha Jazz in Lviv, a festival that they have been funding for a long time. It has been a known fact for a long time that, probably for the last 15 years, Slava Vakarchuk and Okean Elzy have been receiving financial support from Alfa-Bank, going to concerts, recording great music, some of which was heard on the Maidan, they almost took something generally like one of the hymns “I will not give up without a fight.” Although this song is not about the war, but about how she got drunk on wine and fell drunk,” said Mochanov.
