British rock musician Sting said this during a solo concert in Warsaw on Saturday, July 30, according to a correspondent of Ukrinform. The singer said in his speech that the alternative to democracy is violence, oppression, imprisonment and silence. “This alternative is called tyranny. Any tyranny is based on a lie. The greater the tyranny, the greater the lie. A tyrant lies to his country. He lies to the world and above all he lies to himself,” said Sting said. According to him, those who disagree with the tyrant risk imprisonment, torture and even death. “However, this is what we must do. You must take that risk and defend our right to speak the truth. Our minds will not be imprisoned. We must defend the freedom to break free in our minds and in our bodies,” said singer. . He added that “the war in Ukraine is an absurdity based on a lie.” “If we swallow this lie, the lie will eat us. The lie scares the truth. The truth must be heard. And we must not lose this battle!” Sting said.
