The singer finds it difficult to cope with the images from the war in Ukraine – and she is amazed at how quickly everything is suddenly changing.
Berlin – Sarah Connor (41) is very concerned about the Ukraine war and criticizes carefree posting influencers. It is difficult for her to find the right words about the events in Ukraine, the singer wrote in a post she published on Facebook and Instagram.
“The images of the dead, of those fleeing, the thoughts, the fears that are aroused that rob you of sleep. It’s all so numbing.” She finds it strange to see other people’s bikini photos or promotional posts these days. “As if everything would just continue its course,” says Connor. The simultaneity of things is just unbearable.
After just a few hours, tens of thousands had given Connor’s post, for which she posted a thoughtful photo, a “like”.
moral doubts
Connor also sees an opportunity for change in the current developments. There must be a higher purpose for which all this is happening. She was amazed at “the sudden funds that can be moved for armaments, and the screws that are being turned so that we can now make ourselves independent of Putin’s gas as quickly as possible”.
“So all this is possible,” Connor wrote. “If the moral doubts are big enough, it’s up to us. So if there’s anything to be learned from this terrible situation we’re in in Europe now, it’s that big changes are possible.”
She’s thinking about the upcoming soccer World Cup in Qatar and wondering whether it’s still justifiable. “In a country that tramples on human and especially women’s rights? What should I tell my children? The answers are complicated – and then again not.” dpa
