Each Gilmour and Waters have spoken out in opposition to the invasion. “Russian troopers, cease killing your brothers,” Gilmour tweeted on March 1.

“There shall be no winners on this warfare. My daughter-in-law is Ukrainian and my granddaughters need to go to and know their lovely nation. Cease this earlier than it’s all destroyed. Putin should go.”

On March 9, Waters responded to a letter from a 19-year-old fan dwelling in Ukraine who’d requested the songwriter to talk out and “inform the world [his] place.” A part of his prolonged response, posted on social media, included the next: “I learn your letter, I really feel your ache, I’m disgusted by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s a prison mistake, in my view, the act of a gangster, there should be a right away ceasefire. I remorse that Western governments are fueling the fireplace that can destroy your lovely nation by pouring arms into Ukraine, as a substitute of partaking within the diplomacy that shall be essential to cease the slaughter.

“Relaxation assured if all our leaders don’t flip down the rhetoric and have interaction in diplomatic negotiations there shall be valuable little of Ukraine left when the combating is over.”
