Anders Adlercreutz, Finland’s Minister for European Affairs and a capable cellist, played a Ukrainian folk song at the Helsinki Parliament and tweeted it:

Kremlin spokeswoman Maria Zakharova promptly denounced ‘massive echelon training’ of Finnish politicians playing ‘cello solos in support of Ukraine.’

The culture war has gone completely mad.
