The artist also stated that he would provide financial assistance to «this tragic fratricidal war.»
French actor Gerard Depardieu called the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine «crazy and unacceptable», reports the Chronicle.info with reference to the New edition.
«The Russian people is not responsible for the insane, unacceptable excesses of its leaders, such as Vladimir Putin,» Depardieu said.
The actor also said that he would transfer all the proceeds from his three performances in Paris to Ukrainians affected by the military operations of the Russian Federation. At the same time, he called them “victims of this tragic fratricidal war.”
Recall that in 2013 Depardieu received Russian citizenship from the hands of Putin. A few days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he spoke out against the war and called for negotiations.
