Bledans actively supports Russian military personnel, visiting military hospitals and performing for wounded invaders.
In March 2023, on the broadcast of "Life and Fate" with Boris Korchevnikov, she stated the following:
-
"...they are so confused, lost; there is such pressure on these Ukrainians from all over the world, and everyone is saying that 'Russians are monsters, bastards, may they all burn in hell'"
-
"that was a terrifying wave of threats (from Ukrainians on social media); there was no such thing as 'come to your senses,' right away it was 'drop dead, you scum,' 'you live in Russia,' 'you act on Russian television'"
-
"In the first days I called him (referring to ex-husband Yuriy Stetskovsky, who lives in Odesa) and asked how are you, is everything okay. Well, he is a super-intellectual man and would never engage in petty squabbles. But from his tone I understood that to him I was a 'lost sheep,' who doesn't understand anything, and there was nothing to talk to me about"
And finally, a video of a livestream where Evelina Bledans acts aggressively toward Ukrainians and glorifies Russians. After this video, no questions remain regarding Bledans's political stance.
