The head of the President's Office Andrii Yermak called on allies to prevent the return of Russian singer Anna Netrebko to the stage of the Roman Opera because of her support for Vladimir Putin and the regime.

Russian figures should not earn money in the civilized world while the Russian Federation kills Ukrainians, he wrote in his Telegram channel.

«Pretty strange news. Russian soprano Anna Netrebko will return to the stage of the Roman Opera. This is the cultural figure who in 2012 was Putin's trusted face in the elections, in 2014 she came to Donetsk and held the flag of «novorisiia». She was a servant of the regime. And suddenly she returns to the European stage,» Andrii Yermak noted.

The head of the OP emphasized that it is now very important that Russian figures do not have the opportunity to earn money in the civilized world and continue to bring Russian culture to Europe and the West, while Russia kills Ukrainians, kidnaps children and kills them with missiles.

«Netrebko should not perform in Europe. The only place for her and others like her now is the opera in Moscow. I call on all concerned and our allies to react,» he stated.

It will be recalled that in February 2023, Ukrainian opera singers refused to participate in the International May Festival, which lasted from April 30 to May 31 at the Hessen State Theater in Germany. They are dissatisfied with the fact that the Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko, who supports the policy of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, was supposed to perform there.

Later, it was reported that the Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko will appear on the main stage of the Berlin Opera despite the fact that a petition against her performance has gathered more than 36,000 signatures.
