Antony Blinken guitarist and singer for Ukraine: sings “Rockin’ in the Free World” in Kiev

The US Secretary of State takes the stage in a club in the Ukrainian capital: "The free world is with you"

RIMINI- Your soldiers “are fighting not only for Ukraine, but for the free world and the free world is also with you”. These are the words with which the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken introduced his performance last night, Tuesday 14 May, in a club in Kiev, where he picked up a guitar to play and sing “Rockin’ in the Free World” by the singer-songwriter of Canadian origins, and now American, Neil Young. Accompanying him on the stage of the BarmanDictat – this is the name of the venue – a Ukrainian punk band

Blinken is in Ukraine these days to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while the Russian offensive is underway in the Kharkiv area, in the north-east of the country.
