At her concert in Yerevan, the famous Ukrainian singer Svitlana Loboda did not ignore a supporter who refused to condemn the crimes of Putin's regime. The incident happened during a performance when Loboda invited a woman on stage and later asked her to leave the hall.
A video from the concert, where Loboda's conversation with a fan from Russia named Yulia, was recorded, quickly spread on TikTok. The singer turned to her with a direct question, whether she is ready to condemn the Putin regime and the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. When the woman refused to speak out against the war, Loboda emphasized that only those who support Ukraine are welcome at her concerts.
"Are you out of politics? Then I let you go and I don't want to talk to you anymore. You came to my concert, so you should support my position. Because the people who come to my concerts are for peace and for Ukraine to win this terrible war. If not, you'd better leave, I won't talk further," said Loboda.
Svitlana, who had been building a career in Russia for a long time, changed her position with the beginning of a full-scale invasion and moved to Europe, ceasing all activities in the Russian Federation. Because of her open support for Ukraine and anti-Russian statements, the singer was banned from entering Russia for 50 years.
