After the first speech, Kobzon called on politicians and cultural figures not to be afraid of sanctions from the West. “I would generally urge not to pay attention to it,” he said. He also suggested "respond symmetrically."

“In general, my colleague on the advice of the Federation Senator Andrei Sobolev said the best about the sanctions:“ The veto was applied to Kobzon, they are not allowed into the European house. We put it on the veto, and generally put on sanctions, ”said Kobzon.

During the concert of Kobzon, the Order of Miner Valor was awarded. The same Order was received by the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko.

During the second performance, the artist called for "supporting the militias" and expressed gratitude for the warm welcome to the head of the unrecognized Republic of Zakharchenko. “He constantly thinks about you and serves Donbass,” Kobzon said.

However, on August 28, Kobzon said that in September he would go to Europe to continue treatment . According to the singer, President Vladimir Putin helped him to get a medical visa.
