In particular, commentators recalled Loboda how, until February 24, she built her life and career in Russia, and also paid taxes in the aggressor country.
The singer appeared on social networks only on the fifth day of the full-scale invasion and started talking with tears about the fact that her relatives were in a bomb shelter under fire.

A month after the start of the war, the artist nevertheless decided on her position and admitted that Russia had attacked Ukraine.
