Putin put a popular Russian singer on the list of "foreign agents"
Zemfira had to leave Russia.
Zemfira
, a very popular singer in Russia, was included by the government of Vladimir Putin in the list of
"foreign agents" for supporting Ukraine and criticizing the bloody invasion
carried out by the Kremlin.
The famous rocker "openly supported Ukraine, held concerts in hostile countries while
speaking out against the special military operation
and received support from foreign sources," the Russian Justice Ministry said in a statement reproduced by the state news agency Tass.
The website of Zemfira, who
left Russia after the start of the war and settled in France
, has displayed the slogan "No to war".
People considered "foreign agents" by Moscow are often targets of police operations and other
persecution measures.

US President
Joe Biden
and his Brazilian counterpart,
Lula da Silva
, questioned in harsh terms the Russian invasion of Ukraine after meeting in Washington "Both presidents regretted
Russia's violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity
and the annexation of part of their territory, which was a
flagrant violation of international law,
and proclaimed a just and lasting peace," says a joint note released by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry.
After the meeting with Biden, Lula declared: "
The first thing is to stop the war
and then negotiate what is going to happen in the future, otherwise there is no solution."
And he commented that he presented his idea to Biden of
creating a mediation group made up of countries that are not involved in the conflict:
"I am convinced that a way out must be found to end this war. And I felt the same way from President Biden worry".
