Enzo Ghinazzi, known as Pupo, will perform in the State Palace of the Kremlin on Friday. The singer, very popular in both countries, says he is ready to go to Kiev too.

"Heroism today means sitting at a table and talking, as the Pope said," he says. "Talking and swallowing a few bullets does not mean being slaves but being heroes and saving human lives", he adds. "I'm not a good person, but I'm loyal, and I can't stand hypocrisy"
