Original Note:
Misleading. The Kyiv Orchestra fled the Russian invasion in 2022, fearing Russia would target them as part of Ukrainian culture, and in an effort to promote Ukrainian culture in Europe. The government approves of their mission and didn't ask them to come back, so no "refusal". https://www.classical-music.uk/features/article/music-as-a-weapon-the-displaced-kyiv-symphony-orchestra-on-ukraine-s-cultural-front
