Celebrities on Anna Sedokova's stance
For people like Yolka or Anya Sedokova, Ukraine is just a floral wreath on the head, borsch, salo, and a village church. That is the sum total of what they understand by the concept of Ukraine. To them, it's just a quaint provincial hamlet. You see, it's merely a colorful little trinket in their sense of identity. It's not Lina Kostenko, not Lesya Ukrainka, not Ivan Franko, not Kotlyarevsky, not Lysenko. Artists like that are inherently superficial and hollow. What do we expect from them? They should simply be forgotten, and history will not remember them either.
Do not stay silent. You launched your career right here in Ukraine, you have numerous friends here, and you cannot plead ignorance about what is truly happening, yet you feed your followers generic 'peace to the world' pictures. No, it doesn't work that way anymore.
