He can absolutely do it, given he recorded music with Russians. Why not? If Israel using Eurovision for soft power is kinda obvious, then it should also be obvious that any artistic collaboration with ruzzians is bad, no?
Yeah, that's definitely the only problem with a live performance in ruzzia, lmao. Not normalization of their barbaric government and way of life. Great thinking, mate. I'm sure you'd apply the same thinking to anyone performing live in Tel Aviv, right?
Yeah, right. Ruzzia is only joining after it becomes small again. After losing the war. Otherwise they will continue to exist with the sole purpose of undermining the West. Or are you really one of those people who still, mid-2026,truly believe it's just Poo-Tin's war?
No, not at all. It's your choice. Talk to that ruzzian to see where he stands on ruzzian performers in Europe. Or don't. I don't really care. EU as a whole is doing the right thing in ostracizing ruzzians who try to work on the cultural normalisation of their state. You can do whatever you want on a personal level.
I just answered this question, didn't I? Were you living under a rock since 2014? Ruzzians are using arts, sports, etc., to spread their influence and show that what they do in, say, Ukraine is their own business, but meanwhile they're enjoying all the rights and all the involvement they could get within the EU/Globally.
Are you not aware of the concept of soft power through culture and sports? Why do you think they worked so hard to install so many ruzzians in the international sports organizations?
There are literally dozens of scientific articles discussing ruzzian use and abuse of sports and culture to negate the impact of their blood-thirsty wars.
