Jared Leto has been criticized after he expressed his desire to perform in Russia once the "problems" – a reference to Russia's invasion of Ukraine – were resolved. During a performance with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars, the lead singer and Oscar-winning actor said: "We've missed you, you know that. I'll tell you, one day when all these problems are over, we're going to come visit you in your homeland. We're going to St. Petersburg, we're going to Moscow, we're going to Kiev, we're going to party and we're going to mingle with everybody properly."
