Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Anton S took a clear anti-war stance. On February 24, 2022, Anton published calls for peace on his social networks:
War. Stop it!... The news is horrible, I don't feel like doing anything, my heart breaks from helplessness. People! Remain human! It is not easy for anyone right now, especially for those who have family and loved ones in Ukraine. We all want Peace
