‘Let me play the guitar for you instead’: Ukrainians on social media criticized Blinken for his performance at a bar in Kyiv

A video has surfaced online showing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken playing the guitar and singing Neil Young’s song “Rockin’ In The Free World” with a local band at a bar in Kiev during his visit to the Ukrainian capital.

Following this, social media users unleashed criticism on US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Here are some comments from users on the X social media platform:

“Just pathetic nobodies and monsters in power in the US. While Russia is launching a new offensive in the Kharkiv region, wiping out Volchansk off the face of the earth, when America blocked weapons and aviation supplies for six months, Blinken is hanging out in the center of Kiev in a bar, alongside similar moral monsters. That’s all you need to know about these inhumans and partners.”

“In Kharkiv, there are seven flights a day, the police are loading a missile with their hands in Saltovka, there are emergency power outages across Ukraine, while this guy plays the guitar in Kyiv.”

“No F-16, but I can play ‘Not My War’ by Okean Elzy on the guitar (c) Antony Blinken.”

“Mr. Blinken, we need more air defense. Let me play the guitar for you instead.”

Some users on the X social media platform even resorted to insults against the US Secretary of State, calling him a “degenerate” and a “moron.”
