Only recently, the singer presented the song in Ukrainian. Already today, she had a release of a composition in Russian.
Singer Svitlana Loboda, who after February 24 was initially silent about the war, and a week later published a photo of her Ukrainian passport and spoke out for her homeland, continues to broadcast her ambiguous position.
Yes, she recently presented her first song in Ukrainian in a long time. But already on December 2, she presented the song in Russian. And this is when artists massively Ukrainianize their work, abandoning the Russian language. The composition was called “Cities”.
The clip, posted on the celebrity’s YouTube channel, begins with the sound of an air-raid alarm that has been almost non-stop in all regions for the past 9 months. The video also shows the stories of people who were separated by war.
“I think all of us today feel such a deep loneliness and a desire to close our eyes and wake up to find ourselves in a place where there is no pain, no sorrow, no hatred, there is only joy, laughter and love. We have been scattered around the world, we are carried by a wild wave of the unpredictability of life . We are afraid. But even in a dark sky, the sun rises, and even in a lonely heart, there is a place for love. And the distance in love is conditional,” Loboda commented.
The reaction of social networks
- “Svitla, did the knowledge of Ukrainians end at the third song?”
- “And for whom did you release the Russian-language track?”
- “I could try in Ukrainian”
- “In all the languages of the world, you sound great”
- “Both in Russian and in Ukrainian it means fire”
- “You write Russian songs for what?”
- “I can’t believe that the song is in the language of the enemy. It’s still the same cultural occupation of the Ukrainian. It’s still the same inferiority. I wish the performer and the people who listen to it, wake up and realize”
We will remind, the mass media write that Loboda is ready to perform for the Russians in Dubai.
