Ukrainian nationalist singer Anastasia Prikhodko “sent” people’s deputy Nadezhda Savchenko to Russia and criticized her quick change of views, which occurred after returning to Ukraine from a Russian prison.

Prikhodko published her thoughts in verse on her blog.
“They dressed the potty and shaved it, she cried so bitterly,
She was kept in prison, beaten, sat in a cell alone
And she went on a hunger strike and dried up without water,
And at the courts she shouted loudly, “Courts in Russia are not courts!”
But suddenly, having returned to Ukraine, she opened her mouth differently
We are already friends, we are already brothers, and indeed we are one people
How to be recruited by a cheap girl who sold her honor for a ruble
After all, you need to earn a ruble, and eat fish, and sit on TV
Yes, there is grief in the family, and even though we loved you,
Now we’re calmly letting go, to distant lands in Russia.”
It’s interesting that Prikhodko herself represented the Russian Federation at Eurovision, albeit with a song in Ukrainian.
