Ukrainian singer Yana Solomko has unexpectedly justified herself for continuing to live and work in the aggressor country of Russia during the full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On her Instagram page, the artist wrote an extensive message in Ukrainian, in which she explained why she sang in front of the occupants and glorified the enemy military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solomko said that she moved to Russia even before the full-scale invasion began – in 2018, and this decision was professional. The artist complained that it was hard for her as a Ukrainian in Russia, and therefore, after working off her contract, she moved to the United States:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had contractual obligations, and during the war, being in Russia as a Ukrainian was difficult. Eventually, I was able to finish my contract and leave Russia for the United States. Russia was not my homeland. I am Ukrainian and that will never change, no matter who or what anyone says or writes. Before and after the war started, I did what I had to do as a professional with a legal contract, and that is not subject to anyone’s judgment,\u201d Solomko said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
