Vocalist of the legendary rock band "Vopli Vidoplyasov", which was popular in In Russia, Oleg Skripka commented on his words in a recent interview, where he spoke in favor of transferring power to the military. The artist published the corresponding post on his page on the social network.
Media reports about his calls for a military coup, which were broadcast by both Russian and Ukrainian publications, he called an example of an "information war."
"This, of course, is outright nonsense. My words were taken out of the context of one interview, distorted and presented in the form of scraps, creating a completely false impression," explained the Violin.
He stressed that he did not call for aggression, coup or violence.
In his opinion, the media decided to use his words to manipulate public opinion.
As EADaily reported, a week earlier, in an interview with the Apostrophe TV project, Skripka spoke on many topics, including the military coup.
"Here I am for a military coup. To put a normal military man or even to allow only the military to politics. That's it! Those who have been through the fighting," said the musician.
He also noted that the whole country knows the heads of large units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and then "they need to be checked."
