Ukraine rebukes Pink Floyd as 'brick in the wall of Russian propaganda' after ceasefire call

Guardian, 09 Feb 2023
The Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters called for an immediate ceasefire in an address to the UN security council on Wednesday. Speaking upon the invitation of the Russian ambassador to the council, Waters called on world leaders to 'change course', saying; 'From the four billion or so brothers and sisters in this voiceless majority who together with the millions in the international anti-war movement represent a huge constituency, enough is enough.'
The US deputy ambassador to the UN, Richard Mills, responded by questioning Water's credentials to address the council on the conflict and then deferred to the Ukrainian representative, Sergiy Kyslytsya, who accused the musician of unwittingly becoming a tool for Russian propaganda. 'How sad for his former fans to see him accepting the role of just a brick in the wall – the wall of Russian disinformation and propaganda,' said Kyslytsya
