Ani Lorak was going to receive a Russian passport - Roszmi

The singer continued to work and live in the Russian Federation both after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and after a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. However, she did not talk about receiving another country's citizenship before. In February, Ukrainian singer Ani Lorak filed an application for Russian citizenship. This was reported by RIA Novosti on Friday, March 15.

The media specified that the information that the singer wants to obtain Russian citizenship and already takes specific steps for this, received from the informant who is part of the singer's close environment. It should be noted that during the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014, Ani Lorak did not interrupt ties with the Russian show business, for which she was repeatedly criticized in Ukraine, including her "plans" to give a concert in the occupied Crimea.

The first real wave of indignation was caused by the singer's speech at the wedding of daughter Vladimir Lytvyn during bloody events on the Maidan in February 2014 and subsequently aired after the start of Crimea (March 15, 2014). ". In February 2022, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, she did not condemn the aggressor country in which she lived and worked.

In October 2022, the NSDC sanctions were imposed against Ani Lorak. Recall that at the end of March 2023, Ani Lorak commented on rumors about the support of the Armed Forces. The singer emphasized that she is very important for her fans in both the Russian Federation and in Ukraine.
