The infamous blogger Ksyusha Maneken (real name Oksana Voloshchuk) boasted an award from the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. Influencer became one of the invited bloggers at a meeting with Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak. The main topic of the conversation was the information war and the motivation of the population during a full-scale invasion. She told about the meeting at the Bank Mannequin in Instagram stories. According to the blogger, it is very important that the authorities invited opinion leaders on the Web to discuss such issues..

" First of all - from communicating with smart people on philosophical and vital topics for all of us. And secondly, from a pleasant feeling inside. When they see a person in you, they get to know you, they say, they discuss something (in any language! ) Such official meetings are much more significant than public devaluation in the vein of \? Blogger? Who are you anyway? It is important a few people approve of you, and who. Do not focus on the mass, which humiliates you from the inability to express yourself. Just do your thing,"

In addition, the blogger said that back in October last year she received a medal from the Main Intelligence Directorate " Voloshchuk boasted of the award in the photo, but did not tell for what kind of services to her homeland she received such a distinction..

" How it happened, under what circumstances and for what - I will definitely tell you when the war ends. And let this order become a symbol of the fact that if you are a “public” person, this does not mean that you show everything that happens in your life,” wrote Ksyusha.

However, not all web users thought that the blogger did not deserve such an award from the state.. After all, Mannequin has repeatedly got into a scandal because of her statements and positions.. Now the girl is being criticized for refusing to switch to the Ukrainian language and saying that she does not plan to do this at all.. And before that, a scandal erupted around the blogger because of her position regarding the occupation of Crimea. In 2020, Voloshchuk said that she was planning to live on the peninsula and believes that during the occupation of the Russian Federation, " Moreover, Ksyusha convinced that “it doesn’t matter whose peninsula, the main thing is that it be peaceful there”. The mannequin reacted to criticism and urged people " “You know, what upset me after the publication of my “award” is that our people do not trust our state so much that they think that such things just give. Never. This is how it works for you? As it was frustrating that many could not even read for what, when and by whom it was issued. This is not a Hero of Ukraine, not a military service medal. But people like to disperse dirt and slander not only me, but in fact the government. Whatever the government does, society is always dissatisfied with them. Why spit in the well from which we drink, even in wartime? For some reason, I thought that we were all moving in the same direction - to victory..

It would be cool if everyone was doing their best, bringing the country closer to victory, and not looking for treason among their own,"

But in response to her preliminary statements about the annexation of Crimea, Mannequin assured that at that time she simply did not understand what was happening and what consequences this would have.. “At that time, like many, I did not generally understand what was really happening, and believed that the main thing was that everyone was alive and healthy.. A lot has changed since then. But who cares. People are busy throwing stones at me like they're without sin.. But everyone forgot about the war and the problems for a while,"
