The new 1+1 presenter Alexei Sukhanov, who will lead the project "

As you know, the host is of Russian origin, but in 2014 he finally moved to Kyiv. A few years later, he learned the Ukrainian language and in 2019 received Ukrainian citizenship.

With the start of a full-scale invasion, Sukhanov condemned Russian aggression and joined the Kiev TRO. Now the TV presenter has cut off all ties with relatives from Russia and does not regret it.

" And those who were on the other side also left. Now my dearest people, my life and my future in Ukraine and Kyiv. Have a Ukrainian passport. The country entrusted me to be its citizen, which I really appreciate, I try to work hard for the good of society, because the value is not really in kinship. We remain human if we share and respond to the value system! I prefer to remain a person, and not \! Especially when the views of relatives do not coincide with mine.! I think that even in Jurmala, where I have an apartment, I will not be comfortable - there are quite a lot of Russians there. And now it has become an insurmountable barrier for me.. Just at the level of physiology! "

The host emphasized that for him to enter into some kind of dialogue with the other side would mean betraying the memory of those who are no longer with us..

" For me to start some kind of dialogue with the other side - to betray the memory of those who are no longer with us. So I crossed out Russia for myself forever. Nothing will ever connect me with Russia again.. There is no one left from that life. We stopped communicating with relatives. I just don't have the desire. After all, value, in fact, is not in kinship. And empty talk about the fraternal people is complete nonsense,"

Recall, on January 4, Alexei Sukhanov celebrated his birthday. The presenter is 49 years old. On this occasion, the new colleagues of the 1 + 1 host Marichka Padalko, Konstantin Grubich, Vladimir Rabchun and Ruslan Sharipov gave Sukhanov a real surprise.
