Tens of billions - for 11 million. As participation in Eurovision will help Ukraine get weapons

The journalist Petro Shuklinov answers a question that he was not asked, but which he is in the air - why during the war we have to spend money on Eurovision. He is convinced that these expenses can provide Ukraine with a vital weapon in the future. "Why do we have to spend money on Eurovision. " You didn't ask me. But I answer. 160,000,000 people watched Eurovision last year all over the world. And it is those people who go to the polls - viewers. Can you buy drones for UAH 11 million? Can.

But we do not need UAH 11 million. on drones. We need € 50 billion from EU citizens. € 50 billion - you will not even imagine the amount of such a "live". And also an additional € 20 billion is planned for weapons. And each country separately forms multibillion -dollar budgets for weapons for Ukraine. Perennial programs. And all this depends on one - the media of Ukraine and the public request for support of Ukraine.

What do we need to be given these funds now, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? That the EU voter support us. To say the voter to tell his politics: look, these are Ukrainians, give my taxes to them, buy them weapons, I want it! And what should the citizens of the European Union be thought and wanted it? A million second video about shelling? Don't look. All. We need to look for a path deeper. We need to be smarter to get to the first media outlets in the European Union. We need to understand us.

To feel. To consider us one with them. To do this, you need to talk to them. And original. Because we need the support of hundreds of millions of people, not just a small group. And popular music is the shortest way right in the heart and soul of gigantic audiences. And we need it urgently. Because people across Europe are tired. Support falls. And we need to fight for their attention. To receive billions and billions. To receive weapons in quantities that it is difficult to even imagine.

It is very easy to imagine drones for 11 million UAH. It is very difficult to imagine tens of billions and struggle to get them. Those who are for drones: I know your pain and understand. Our watt gathered, bought and handed over 200 pickups. And now it is equipped with mobile groups to protect six cities in the East and South. I know how much you can do to win for 11 million UAH. But we need tens of billions, square kilometers of weapons and support for hundreds of millions of EU citizens.

That is why we send our artists to shout about us and our struggle to the whole world. Therefore, we spend diplomats. Therefore, we spend on working trips of politicians abroad. Therefore, we spend on a cultural lobby in all possible forms. And no matter if you look Eurovision or not. It is a playground for our word throughout Europe. In order to. We. Was. Weapon. In order to. We. Were. Money. Lots of money. Many weapons. So it is necessary.
