Chaparyan's stance on the war in Ukraine
He did not issue direct public statements regarding Russia's full-scale assault, but through indirect actions made it clear that he opposes Russian aggression on the territory of sovereign Ukraine.
One week after the war broke out, he departed for Armenia together with his Ukrainian girlfriend.
Despite completely canceling his live comedy tours across Russia, Artur continues to maintain business ventures in the Russian Federation, explaining this by a fear of "losing everything" and the dependence of other employees on those operations.
