Supervisors: Taisiya Povaliy, Regina Todorenko and Ani Lorak - which of the Ukrainian stars received Russian citizenship

The war in Ukraine placed all the dots over "and" and if after 2014, some Ukrainian stars continued to work "undercover" for Russia, then after February 24, 2022, everyone made their choice. Of course, many Ukrainian stars categorically terminated all the relations with the Russian Federation, but there were those who openly put the aggressor's side, or are still denied. But let it there, the war made its adjustments.

If many stars from Ukraine could be kept secret, then in the Russian elections in 2024, many of them showed who they really are. The focus prepared a selection of stars born in Ukraine, but betrayed the Motherland and took Russian citizenship. The 45-year-old native of Chernivtsi region, Karolina Kuek, is better known as singer Ani Lorak, after two years of war in Ukraine, has decided to obtain Russian citizenship.

In particular, since October 2022, the singer has been on the sanction list that prohibits entry into the territory of Ukraine. All because, since the beginning of the full -scale war in Ukraine, Ani Lorak demonstrated the support of the Russian authorities, and in 2014, after the start of the ATO, she continued to work and make money in Russia. According to the Russian media, in two months the singer will have a new passport and will be considered a Russian citizen.

Lorak does not hide the support of the Russians on the pages on social networks. Sometimes he even shows his volunteer activity in support of the Russian army. 59-year-old native of Kyiv region, singer Taisiya Povaliy also received a Russian passport on the eve of elections in Russia.

In particular, she posted a photo on which she held a Russian passport and under which she confessed that she first voted in elections in Russia.

After the ban, the singer removed her mother from Ukraine, who did not want to leave her homeland. Despite the support of Russia, Povaliy calls himself a Russian Ukrainian.
