Roger Waters condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and called Putin’s war 'the act of a gangster' in an open letter to a Ukrainian Pink Floyd fan.
Now Waters is condemning Putin and says he hopes Zelensky has his citizens’ best interests in mind too. “I desperately hope your president is not a gangster too and that he will do what is best for his people, and demand of the Americans that they come to the table,” he wrote. “Sadly however, many world leaders are gangsters and my disgust for political gangsters did not start last week with Putin.
He went on to cite what he perceived as “gangster” acts by several world leaders over the past 50 years, including former heads of state of the U.S., the U.K., and Israel.
Waters also blasted the American news media in the Brave New Europe missive for implying that the Ukrainian war was a greater atrocity than western invasions in Afghanistan or Iraq because “[Ukrainians] look like us.” “The implication is that it’s somehow more acceptable to make war on people whose skin is brown or black and drive them from their homes than people who ‘look like us,'” he wrote “It’s not. All refugees, all people who struggle are our brothers and sisters.
