Oleh Vynnyk: “I Don't Think Crimea Was Taken Away”
Vynnyk never stops surprising.
Singer Oleh Vynnyk has continued to voice pro-Russian views over the past few days. Journalists from the programme “Okna” asked him several questions about Crimea, concerts in Russia and his recent participation in a propaganda campaign.

singerI won't say whose Crimea it is. I think that talking about it at all today achieves nothing when you shout “Crimea is ours”, but as of today it is not ours. Well, we have what we have. That is a fact. And, to be frank, not a single soldier died for Crimea. What is valuable: Crimea, Donbas or Ukraine?! I don't think Crimea was taken away or that it is more valuable than everything else, the lives and fates of our Ukrainians.
In the same speech, he called the ATO an “incomprehensible war”. Despite such statements, Vynnyk said he does not intend to give concerts in Russia.
Earlier this week, the singer took part in the propaganda project “VSEMMIR” by the Russian music group “MIR 519”. The artist appeared in a video, part of which was included in the group's music video. First, Vynnyk performed an excerpt from his song “Vovchytsia”, and then gave a speech in Ukrainian. After this, he was added to the Myrotvorets database.
