Ukrainian singer, producer of " According to him, it was because of his messages that some Russian artists even changed their phone numbers. In an interview with Meni Tsikavo, Viter said that he actively wrote and called Russian Z-performers, expressing to them his position because of their support for aggression against Ukraine. He noted that among those to whom he wrote were Philip Kirkorov and Nikolai Baskov. " And Kirkorov and Baskov. And he called and wrote. Kirkorov has already changed his phone number twice because of me. I fucked because I didn’t change Telegram so that there was somewhere else to knock,” admitted Gennady Viter.

He added that certain people from Russian showbiz, with whom he once kept in touch, after February 24, 2022, turned out to be mouthpieces for Kremlin propaganda. One of them, while in Valencia, sent Viter a message with theses like “you are eating children there” and “throwing out the Russian church”. The artist admitted: he could not understand “how a person who seemed adequate could have no brains”.

Viter noted that after the start of the war, he was not afraid to say what he thought: “When they shoot at your country, there can only be one answer - if they don’t understand it: that the war has come to our territory, but it started in their heads and they are simply being destroyed.”.

Separately, Viter recalled that he was twice included in the Russian sanctions list as “banned from entry” for a period of 49 years. The first time - under the stage name Viter, the second - when Russian special services found his real name.

“Even Vova Ostapchuk called me and said:

“I looked at this list and I don’t understand how you got there.”? “I say: “It’s just the ability to say what you think,” the artist shared.

Viter also admitted that until 2022, his project released songs in Russian, since a significant part of the Ukrainian radio broadcast then played Russian-language content. However, after the full-scale invasion, he completely switched to Ukrainian and closed for himself any professional connections with the Russian market, which had previously brought a lot of money.
