The artist, originally from Uzhhorod, has been living and working in the Russian Federation for a long time, maintaining a silent position. In the fourth year of the Great War, Yolka spoke about her homeland. Video from the singer's concert was shared by blogger Bohdan Bespalov. "You know where I was born, where I lived for 22 years and where I came from.

I did not make any comment on this topic because I believe that we should have the strength to stay above all this. The only thing I want to say and I repeat it every day, I really want to wish us wisdom and peace. I really don't want anything bad to happen. May those who are in charge of all this have the wisdom to make it all happen it didn't hurt," said the native of Uzhhorod from the stage.

Moreover, the singer admitted that she was worried about the war every day, although she did not call things by their names. "My heart hurts. I have a mother there. I have so many friends there. Each of you in Ukraine has a large number of friends. And I don't know a person who would not worry about this," Yolka said. In Ukraine, Yolka often performed and participated in media projects.
