Kyiv, 24 March 2014 \u2013 \u201cI urge the society to unite in helping the people of Crimea, – said public activist, singer Ruslana, as she addressed the Ukrainians during a briefing at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center. – Crimea SOS and Euromaidan SOS are among the most active platforms, and they can be contacted for coordination of actions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruslana reminded the audience that according to opinion polls, the level of support of the union with Russia in the Crimea was only slightly higher 40%. \u201cOf course, there is pro-Russian sentiment, but it\u2019s not that high. Russia has taken power by force and we demand that the international community uses the phrase \u2018forceful takeover of Crimea by Putin and Kremlin\u2019,\u201d the singer emphasized.<\/p>\n

Ruslana also touched upon the issue of Kremlin\u2019s propaganda. \u201cOne can take over a country with information war, and that\u2019s what Putin is doing today. It is the work of his political strategists at the psychological level, they are using methods of intimidation. This is an attempt to capture the Ukrainians, break them with propaganda\u201d, said Ruslana, adding also that she was outraged with the disinformation about Maidan itself, \u201cas long as there is a one percent chance to sue Putting for slander, I\u2019ll do it.\u201d She also made a note about the signs of Russian propaganda in China shaping a false public opinion in the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the March 23 \u2018Viche\u2019 (Ukrainian for \u2018public assembly\u2019), Ruslana explained the essence of the resolution Maidan activists drafted yesterday: \u201cWe rightfully demand that the current government come up with a way to communicate with Maidan. Such resolutions cannot be simply laid next to the flowers. The government must appoint a practical coordinator to interact with Maidan. This message is addressed to Turchynov and Yatseniuk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruslana pointed out the staffing mistakes made by the interim government and condemned the position of Ukraine\u2019s Defense Ministry on Crimea. \u201cYesterday the situation was explosively dangerous. We\u2019ve been walking a tightrope. The interim government has failed to deal with Crimea, and now people are getting involved to save the situation. I talked to the Ukrainian military in Crimean yesterday, and their position was very straightforward: no one even cared to give any orders. There had been no calls, no visits, no support\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ruslana is a Ukrainian public activist, singer, former Member of the Ukrainian Parliament. She is the first Ukrainian to have won the Secretary of State\u2019s International Women of Courage Award. In 2013 she was on the Forbes World\u2019s 100 Most Powerful Women.<\/p>\n
