Russian pop megastar condemns Ukraine war
Alla Pugacheva – one of Russia’s biggest music stars, has condemned the invasion of Ukraine and called on Russian authorities to declare her a “foreign agent”, in solidarity with her anti-war husband Maxim Galkin.
Galkin, a comedian, TV presenter and singer, was labelled a “foreign agent” on Friday after condemning the war.
On social media, Pugacheva called her husband “a true incorruptible Russian patriot, who wants… an end to our lads dying for illusory aims”.
She said the Kremlin’s “illusory aims” in Ukraine “make our country a pariah and the lives of our citizens extremely difficult”.
She added that her husband wanted “prosperity for his motherland, peace, free speech”.
