Supports the killing of Ukrainians? Why Magnificent Century star Meryem Uzerli is silent about the war and what connects her to Russia

The 39-year-old Turkish-German actress and fashion model Meryem Uzerli is one of those global celebrities who prefers to keep silent about the war in Ukraine and enjoy her life. When the film star is asked why she does not want to express her position on the full-scale invasion, she pretends that nothing is happening and deletes her comments on social media.

However, it is obvious to Ukrainians without explanation that the artist does not consider Putin's actions to be criminal, as she increasingly makes references to Russian culture. OBOZREVATEL will tell you how the actress is connected to the aggressor country and demonstrate how her appearance has changed recently (to see the photo, scroll to the end).

Back in March 2022, Uzerli took part in a shoot for a Russian glossy magazine. The celebrity appeared on the cover of HELLO! magazine, which angered not only Ukrainian fans but also all those who support Ukraine from other countries. And on March 8, Hürrem Sultan mentioned a prayer for peace, without naming the war that Russia started. She was trying to remain neutral, and in the end, she framed herself. Perhaps the model thinks that this will protect her from hate.

At the 76th Cannes Film Festival, the star wore a black and beige dress by Russian designer Yulia Yanina and her fashion house Yanina Couture. Last year, Meryem chose the same brand for the event, stating that she considers herself an ardent supporter of the girl's talent.

Let's also recall the case when the celebrity posted a series of pictures on her Instagram from Dubai. In April 2022, the artist visited the UAE with her family, noting that she feels at home in this country. "We're having the best time," Uzerli emphasised. Under the post, fans began to ask questions that remained unanswered. "Do you know about the war in Ukraine?", "Do you support the killing of Ukrainians?", the celebrity was asked.

By the way, during the Cannes Film Festival, many fans did not recognise the star of Magnificent Century. They claim that the girl overdid it with plastic surgery and beauty injections. In the pursuit of beauty, Uzerli stopped looking like herself and frightened the audience with a "new face".
