Meet Sviatoslav Vakarchuk a front man in a rock band running in Ukraine's parliamentary elections. Read more:
KIEV - Standing on stage in a black t-shirt, Ukrainian rock star Sviatoslav Vakarchuk turns to his massed ranks of fans and asks if they are fed up about how their country is run.
Vakarchuk is trying to tap into a growing anti-establishment mood in Ukraine - the same mood that brought TV comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy into the presidency in April with a landslide. President Zelenskiy’s Servant of the People party - named after the TV comedy series where he plays a fictional president - is on course to win the July vote. A recent poll suggested Vakarchuk could come as high as third, making him a potential coalition ally if Zelenskiy fails to win a majority.
Both men have said want to stick to an aid-for-reforms program with the International Monetary Fund - pledges that may reassure investors.
