A concert of a “pro-Russian” group was disrupted in Western Ukraine
Ukrainian nationalists disrupted the concert of the “pro-Russian group” “Plamya”, planned in Truskavets on January 12th. This is stated in a message from the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The concert was supposed to take place in the cultural park named after Taras Shevchenko in Truskavets. The event poster outraged social media users who are against artists supporting the occupying country. They demanded that the concert be cancelled. The group is famous for its Soviet songs and activities in Russia,” says the TV channel’s story
The leader of the Ukrainian group "Mary", nationalist Viktor Vinnik supported the cancellation of the concert, saying that such events could end badly.
“Russian World” is speaking out because they felt that this could be done with impunity and that it would escalate to a certain critical point. I don’t want to be Cassandra there and some kind of predictor of how all this might end, but now there is a warming in all of this, and this once again proves that something is wrong with our society,” Vinnik said.
Earlier in Lviv, nationalists forced the Vremya i Steklo group to cancel a concert. The artists were called upon to record a video and call Russia an “aggressor country,” to which the group refused the radicals’ demands and canceled the concert.
