The pro-Kremlin Union of Veterans of the War in Afghanistan and Special Military Operations in Russia's Far East demanded local authorities cancel concerts scheduled for March by popular singer Kristina Orbakaite in the city of Blagoveshchensk, saying that she holds a U.S. passport and permanently resides in the United States, "a country that provides a military support" to Ukraine. Last week, Orbakaite's concert scheduled for March 13 in the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude was canceled due to a request by the Brothers-in-Arms NGO, which supports Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
