“And here I want to address my colleagues, the representatives of the show business – those who drove and served the oligarchs.

They exacerbated this situation, they are complicit, and I said it in 2014, that it will not be good not to flirt with the enemy, because by driving and making music at their parties, serving them, you gave them the feeling that they are normal.

Here is the result. And don’t, “Brainstorm”, now come to the concert, come to the stage and pretend that there was nothing. You are complicit. Intar, you are also complicit and your entire service team. “

“We are all facing a catastrophe, and it is only because you had a shirt closer to your conscience unfortunately,” Sipeniece said, saying that “we can only ask all the highest forces so that we can survive so that the mind can win.”

Renārs Kaupers, a soloist of the group “Brainstorm”, has also heard and commented on what Sipeniece has said, to whom the group’s manager Aija Auškāpa has told about the public “witch hunt”.

“It has to be said that my heart is full. Our manager Aija just called me and said that a public ‘witch hunt’ has started,” says Kaupers, a video posted on social media. “Baiba Sipeniece is almost blaming Brainstorm and Intars Busuli for the terrible war in Ukraine, who have been touring in Russia and have just taken part in a support concert for Ukraine at the Congress House.”

“Is sport and culture really no longer an area that can foster friendship between peoples and peoples?” he continues.

Kaupers points out that the band has toured in Russia and Ukraine in recent years.

We recently met at the store. We had a nice, sweet conversation.

You did not mention at any time the fact that you are talking so loudly now, “said Kaupers, saying that there is a great deal of resentment at the moment and that it is sometimes necessary to express it.
