He noted that he would join the "Khartia" together with one of the Kharkiv musicians.
"It seems to me that today there are no writers or non-writers, musicians or non-musicians. There are citizens of Ukraine who feel responsible for their country, and there are citizens who are trying to avoid responsibility. The army equates everyone, because it is a reflection of Ukrainian society," Zhadan said.
