Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, in an interview with Gordon chief editor Olesya Batsman, noted that Ukrainians harassing each other benefits the aggressor country Russia, because society, instead of uniting, is subjected to emotional provocations.
Kuleba, in particular, commented on the scandal surrounding Ukrainian singer Olga Polyakova, who was first heckled for performing in Jurmaly (Latvia), and then for loud statements in an interview with Ukrainian blogger Ramina Eshakzaei.

"When I look at Polyakova, who sings for Ukrainians in Ukraine, cut herself off from the Russian market, translated her works there and switched to Ukrainian, that's it! What was before that? We were very different people. And let me remind you that everyone here in Ukraine was screaming at Xenia Sobchak, whom I cannot stand. This is a super-sultry person. But wasn't the whole progressive youth shouting: 'Oh God, such depth. Oh God, such talent, only in Moscow' Then they all became ultra-patriots and tell who is Little Russian and what they did for Ukraine. This resonated with me," noted Kuleba.
He added that he often becomes a target of haters himself.
"You may spend your life to make the country independent, sovereign, Ukrainian, European. Then you say one wrong thing once — shame, unsubscribe, why doesn’t he apologize, disappointment. If it were up to me, I would be silent. They write: 'Let's ride them on the jackal express.' But I tell you — the FSB is riding you on the 'jackal express,' as it rode in 1917–1919 years," said Kuleba. "They wrote that the worst Bolshevik with a gun is the Bolshevik with a cine camera, because Russian Bolshevik propaganda corrupted society. Well, we don't think about it, because it's not as fun as riding someone on the 'jackal express'."
