Anna Khilkevich's Stance on the War in Ukraine
On March 18, 2022, Anya Khilkevich published an Instagram post voicing support for Russia's military invasion of Ukraine and Putin's policies:
I see how the West is pressuring and trying to undermine the emerging power and might of Russia. But our spirit (I mean us Russians who are 'at home'!) can't be broken by a damn thing. We cannot be scared by sanctions, prohibitions, and threats. Russia doesn't play a double game. Russia has always welcomed and embraced with open arms. But that comes solely from magnanimity and the desire to build trusting, friendly international relations, not from weakness. And now the time has come to show ourselves. To show all the power and might of our amazing country, filled with talented, wonderful, and strong-spirited people... I am Russian. And I am proud of it. I stand with the country. I am at Home. And one more thing. In these difficult times, our president needs support especially strongly. It is hard for all sides. May they get through this with dignity. This is a great redivision; this moment in Russia's history and world order will later be written about in textbooks and books. And when we persevere, a great future awaits us. For Russia and the world, it must only be this way.
In September 2022, Khilkevich supported partial mobilization, publishing a video address on social networks:
I am proud of the men who made the decision to stay in our country. Life brings us challenges, and we must meet them with dignity, with nobility, and by supporting one another. This is a fight for something greater, for truth. I sincerely hope this struggle ends soon and love, justice, and a new order will reign in the world. And we will certainly wait for our men to return.
The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) of Ukraine initiated an appeal to impose international sanctions against Khilkevich, noting that she "openly supports Putin's aggressive policy. Disseminates narratives in accordance with Kremlin propaganda in support of Russia's actions."
Anna was also included by the ACF (FBK) on the list of corrupt officials and warmongers for supporting Russian aggression against Ukraine.
