For the third week in Kiev, there are crowded actions in support of Ukraine's European integration. Thousands of people gather on the Maidan every day, demanding the resignation of the government and the president. Representatives of show business are not lagging behind. Recently, the shocking bard Nikita Dzhigurda performed on the square, but the singer Ruslana became the real star of the Euromaidan, who announced the day before that she was ready for extreme measures.

The winner of the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest took an active part in the Orange Revolution. It does not give up its positions even now. Ruslana supported Euromaidan the week before last. Then she went on a hunger strike as a protest, which, however, did not prevent her from regularly addressing those gathered in the square from the stage and singing the anthem of Ukraine with everyone.

Last weekend, the artist, along with her husband, also very actively helped the victims of the dispersal of the protest by the special forces. “We have delivered about 100 people. They were mostly unarmed students - girls, boys. They had numerous injuries and fractures,”said the singer’s husband.

At one time Ruslana acted as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Our Ukraine party. To date, the artist has eight solo albums.

And now the celebrity is ready to take the most extreme measures. "I'll tell you honestly, I will burn myself on this Maidan, if changes do not take place," said the performer, speaking in front of the protesters. After that, she demanded the resignation of the current government. The protesters supported her, chanting: "Power - resign!"

Earlier, the artist said in an interview: “Revolution means that we want to change something. The revolution in this case looks not just that we are standing on the street, but that we want to change and we must change it. Until we change, our revolution will continue."
