If allowed: escaped from Russian comedian on a clumsy move promised to perform in Kiev

Escaped from Russian comedian Maxim Galkin❶ and singer Alla Pugacheva spoke with Ukrainian journalists at the Laima Rendezvous festival in Jurmala, which is held by Laima Vaikule. The video was published by the Ukrainian telegram channel "News Live".

Galkin❶ tried to speak Ukrainian, which he, according to his wife, "teaches and teaches."

"Oh, I didn't expect that. And what to say? I do not know what to say. We support you as much as we can," Galkin slowly and with difficulty squeezed out ❶. Pugacheva was laughing shyly at that moment.

The journalist could not resist and asked if it was possible that one day the comedian would come to Kiev with a concert.

"It's a must, we will come," he said in Ukrainian.

"If they allow it," he added in Russian.

As EADaily reported, the Vaikule festival started on July 25. The line—up of artists is traditional for this event: Russian foreign agents, including Andrei Makarevich❶, Semyon Slepakov❶ and the Bi-2 group, Ukrainian stars and Latvian performers.
