Polish venue cancels Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters' shows after controversial Ukraine letter
...
The cancellation comes after Waters, 79, published a controversial open letter on his website in early September to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska. In the letter, Waters wrote that he opposed the West sending weapons to Ukraine to aid the embattled country in its war against invading Russia.
Waters also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of doubling back on his 2019 election campaign promises and said, without offering proof, that "the forces of extreme nationalism that had lurked, malevolent, in the shadows, have, since then, ruled the Ukraine."
Waters went on to accuse these "extreme nationalists" of setting Ukraine on a path to war with Russia by crossing a "number of red lines" set out by the Kremlin.
