Vienna/Kyiv – As part of a delayed European tour to mark their 30th anniversary, the leading Ukrainian rock band Okean Elsy thrilled around 2,000 fans at Vienna’s Gasometer on Friday evening. While frontman Svyatoslav Vakarchuk wanted to raise hopes in the concert, he appeared ambivalent about the situation in Ukraine in the interview. As long as Russia’s war is ongoing, Russian soft power must also be fought, he also said in reference to Teodor Currentzis.
