In Chisinau, the concert by Russian performer Didyulya, which had been scheduled for 26 November at the “Nicolae Sulac” National Palace, has been cancelled.
This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is noted that this was achieved as a result of the work of the Embassy of Ukraine in Moldova.
“The Embassy consistently stressed to the Moldovan side that holding this performance is unacceptable. Russia uses culture to promote its influence and create the appearance of a return to ‘normality’. Therefore, during Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, international tours by representatives of Russia’s cultural sphere cannot be considered outside this context,” the press release says.
The ministry noted that such decisions are an important expression of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, who continue their struggle for freedom and independence.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that Russia must not be given international stages to whitewash its reputation while its army kills Ukrainians, destroys cities and wipes out cultural heritage.
