返信削除【ワシントン＝淵上隆悠】ロシアによる侵略が続くウクライナを訪問したブリンケン米国務長官が、滞在中にギター演奏を披露したことが物議を醸している。
ブリンケン氏は１４日夜、首都キーウのバーで地元のバンドとステージに立った。露軍が攻勢を強める北東部ハルキウ州でウクライナ兵や市民が苦しんでいるとした上で「彼らは自由なウクライナのためだけではなく、自由な世界のために戦っている」と述べ、ロック歌手ニール・ヤングさんの「ロッキン・イン・ザ・フリー・ワールド」を演奏した。
ブリンケン氏は大の音楽好きとして知られるが、米ＮＢＣニュースは「ウクライナで批判を呼んでいる」と報じている。戦闘で両足を失ったという元ウクライナ兵はＸ（旧ツイッター）への投稿で「無粋で不適切だ。武器や同盟国からの支援が足りず、毎日多くの人が命を落としているのに」と語った。
