The Ukrainian embassy in Luxembourg has formally expressed concerns to local authorities regarding an upcoming concert featuring Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko. Scheduled for June 15th at the Luxembourg Philharmonic, the performance has drawn criticism due to Netrebko’s publicly stated support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian officials have requested that Luxembourg reconsider allowing the concert to proceed, citing Netrebko’s previous endorsements of the Kremlin. The embassy conveyed its worries to Luxembourgian authorities, highlighting the potential for the event to be perceived as tacit approval of Russia’s actions in Ukraine. No official response from Luxembourg authorities has been released as of yet. The situation underscores the ongoing debate surrounding cultural figures with ties to the Russian government and their ability to perform internationally amid the conflict. The Ukrainian embassy believes the concert is inappropriate given the current geopolitical climate.
