A literal diplomatic charm offensive from Russia. âSupport us and your country too can avail itself of our sledgehammer-wielding army of neo-Nazis and violent criminals!â

If it happens the other members of the Security Council should limit their questions to those about his bands and about music, thus respecting his subject area expertise.

The would be amazing. Especially if prefaced by the statement âIâm going to limit my questions to things you know about. Could you talk about the chord progressions in Atom Heart Mother?â

He condemned both Russia and âprovocateursâ in the west âin the strongest possible termsâ, suggesting that âprovokingâ Russia is a crime equal to invading.
From the Guardianâs Ukraine liveblog:
In his address to the security council, Waters claimed to be speaking on behalf of âfour billion or so brothers and sistersâ in what he called a âvoiceless majority, who together with the millions in the international anti-war movement represent a huge constituencyâ.
Despite appearing as Russiaâs guest, Waters condemned all sides. He said:
The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation was illegal. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Also, the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not unprovoked, so I also condemn the provocateurs in the strongest possible terms.
On the eve of his security council appearance, Waters was denounced by Polly Samson, former Pink Floyd lyricist and the wife of its guitarist, Dave Gilmour, as an antisemite and Putin apologist, allegations which he has rejected as âincendiary and wildly inaccurateâ.
Update:
At the close of the UN security council session on the Russian invasion, Ukraineâs permanent representative, Sergiy Kyslytsya, was scathing about Roger Watersâ intervention, and drew on his Pink Floyd past to rebuke him.
Kyslytsya said the band had been banned by the Soviet Union for protesting against the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan.
âIt is ironic, if not hypocritical, that Mr Waters attempts now to whitewash another invasion,â the Ukrainian diplomat said.
How sad for his former fans to see him accepting the role of just a brick in the wall.
