>Waters wrote an open letter to the Ukrainian first lady, Olena Zelenska, early this month in which he blamed “extreme nationalists” in Ukraine for having “set your country on the path to this disastrous war”.
>The 79-year-old also criticised the west for supplying Ukraine with weapons, blaming Washington, in particular. Waters has also condemned Nato, accusing it of provoking Russia.
Tankie.
Ukraine’s First Lady actually replied to him and pointed out it was Russia who was actually invading and perhaps he should be writing an accusatory letter to Vladimir Putin instead.
Which he did, after a few weeks of questioning by his fans. Unfortunately it again shows more hostility towards NATO than Putin.

Maybe this man could have done with education after all…
Well, he had NO CHOICE but to cancel after HIS own stupid and irresponsible comments!
Saying that Russian aggression is Ukraine’s and EU’s (Poland’s) fault certainly didn’t go down well and as such not many people would be happy to see him in Poland anymore! His comments were like a red rag to a bull…
They make you cancel gigs in Poland if you:
1) Support Russia
2) Are a homosexual
Is this the same Roger Waters who recently was a bit negative about Keir Starmer and Labour, something about a friend of his who was expelled from Labour.
I wonder if he feels comfortably numb about cancelling the gigs, or just thinks it is one of these days. Probably many of his fans think that the Russians have behaved worse than animals towards Ukraine, and certainly no-one in a war zone says to anyone, wish you were here.
Why do aging rockstars always turn into cunts? Looking at you Johnny Lydon
When your politics revolve around ‘America bad’, but you’re not intelligent enough to realise that that doesn’t mean ‘Russia good’.
More than one country can be imperialist and bad at once, Roger.
Ukraine isn’t the one sending troops over the border to murder and rape women and children or massacre civilians and dump them in mass graves.
