Alla Pugacheva, Kristina Orbakaitė, and Maxim Galkin Speak Out Against War in Ukraine
Russian singer Alla Pugacheva and her daughter, singer Kristina Orbakaitė, have spoken out against the war in Ukraine.
Pugacheva, one of Russia's most famous singers, posted a message on Instagram on Sunday, March 6, saying that she was "against war" and that she wanted "peace and freedom" for Ukraine.
Orbakaitė, who is also a singer, reposted her mother's message on her own Instagram account, adding that she was "ashamed" of Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Pugacheva's husband, comedian Maxim Galkin, has also spoken out against the war.
Galkin, who is a popular TV personality in Russia, posted a video on Instagram on Saturday, March 5, in which he said that he was "against the war" and that he wanted "peace and freedom" for Ukraine.
Galkin also said that he was "ashamed" of the Russian government's actions in Ukraine.
The statements by Pugacheva, Orbakaitė, and Galkin are significant because they are some of the first public statements against the war in Ukraine by prominent Russian figures.
The statements have been met with mixed reactions in Russia, with some people praising the celebrities for speaking out and others criticizing them for being unpatriotic.
It remains to be seen whether the statements by Pugacheva, Orbakaitė, and Galkin will have any impact on the war in Ukraine. However, the statements are a sign of growing dissent within Russia against the war.
