He is one of the few real rock stars in Germany and has influenced many generations with his lyrics. In several debates he has already spoken out against racism and for refugees. In an interview with Sandra Maischberger, singer and songwriter Marius Müller-Westernhagen talks about his career and the war in Ukraine. At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it was important to him to give people strength. That is why he played his song "Freedom" at a concert for Ukraine last March. Müller-Westernhagen believes that the most important thing in the war in Ukraine is that the killing of people stops. Although he would like to see a solution in which Ukraine does not have to make any concessions "in a perfect world", he considers this to be illusory in the current situation. In the interview he also talks about his relationship with former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, his meeting with Putin at the time and calls for more equal opportunities and the fight against inequality in Germany.
