A soldier and close friend of Oleg Vinnik, Roman Nedzelsky, in a recent interview with journalist Natalya Vlashchenko, said that the singer was seriously considering the possibility of joining the Armed Forces of Ukraine..

Vinnik, who now lives in Germany, allegedly liked the idea and was ready to put on the uniform. However, senior officers opposed the proposal due to its reputation. .

“I offered Oleg a year ago. I say: “Oleg, let me take you to us, we have a “Cultural Landing” under the Ministry of Defense. And there are all our performers, artists who supposedly serve in the army, they are military, but also traveling. This is “Boombox”, and “Tank on the Maidan”, and Zhenya Galich. They travel and collect money around the world on tour, but they are military. . He thought so, said: “This will be cool, I’m really ready to put on the uniform, that’s all.”. But when I talked with senior officers, I said: “Listen, maybe we’ll consider bringing Oleg here.”. He says: “There’s already so much negativity poured on him that it’s toxic for us.”. Give anyone, but not Oleg,” shared Nedzelsky.
