Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – June 25, 2021 \u2013 Art and Celebrities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “The SBU recommended that the Ministry of Culture <\/a>and Information Policy include Russian singer Filip Kirkorov in the list of individuals who pose a threat to Ukraine’s national security. On June 22, he was included in this list,” the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Service explained that the reasons for such recommendations were repeated propaganda concerts and statements by Kirkorov, in which he spoke in support of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and insisted that the annexed peninsula is part of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, according to the SBU, he regularly spoke in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, entering the peninsula outside the Ukrainian checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The SBU has evidence that Philip <\/a>Kirkorov deliberately denied the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, and in his statements justified the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation,” the SBU said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In particular, it is known that on March 18, 2021, Kirkorov performed at the concert “Big holiday concert in honor of the seventh anniversary of the reunification of Crimea with Russia”, which took place with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin – thus supporting the occupation of Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In his statements at the event, Kirkorov said that” Crimea is my favorite place in Russia, “and also made a number of other propaganda statements, as he had done many times before,” the Service explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirkorov in the “blacklist” of the SBU: what is known<\/p>\n\n\n\n
