"I have a child too". The star of Crazy Wedding, where Oleh Vynnyk starred, emotionally commented on his escape abroad

Popular Ukrainian actress Lesya Samayeva has shared her attitude to the singer Oleh Vynnyk, who fled abroad at the outbreak of the great war. The actress starred with the singer in several parts of the movie Crazy Wedding.

Lesya Samayeva admitted that she has always treated Vynnyk's work "a little ironically" and explained why she will never understand an artist who is silent about the war in Ukraine. The actress spoke about this in an interview with OBOZ.UA.

"I did not keep in touch with him on the set. He came, filmed, left – that's it. In addition, I admit that I never belonged to his pack of wolves and treated his work a little ironically. At the same time, I in no way want to offend everyone who loves him – this is my subjective opinion. As for his silence, I don't understand it from the word "at all." I could have left too, I have a child for whom I am worried. But in such terrible times, we need to be together."

Earlier, OBOZ.UA wrote that TV presenter and music producer Igor Kondratyuk suggested that some of the most famous artists, such as singers Oleh Vynnyk and Potap, as well as choreographer and TV presenter Vlad Yama, who were abroad until recently, have a future in Ukrainian show business. For many years, Kondratyuk worked with the latter as a jury member of the Ukraine's Got Talent TV show.

Before the full-scale war, singer Oleh Vynnyk was one of the most popular performers in Ukraine. In an interview with the media, Oleksandr Horbenko, the singer's producer at the time, said that for less than $100,000, Vynnyk would not participate in advertising campaigns. The singer had the highest price for performing at New Year's corporate parties – a 45-minute concert cost €50,000. The artist also gathered a loyal online audience of 2.5 million subscribers.

After the full-scale invasion, Vynnyk left Ukraine for Germany and dropped out of the public space. Nothing has been heard from him since. The only interview the artist gave to Ukrainian journalists took place in Berlin, where the formerly super-popular singer now lives.
