Finalist of the Ukrainian talent shows “Voice of the Country 10” and “X-Factor 8” Anna Trubetskaya released a track about the friendship between Russia and Belarus, after which she faced criticism from Ukrainians and Belarusians.
Trubetskaya presented a song called “Belarus and Russia” a few days ago. The girl published an excerpt on the social network Threads, where she was bombarded with negative comments.
In the comments under Anna Trubetskaya's post, users emphasize that Belarus declared independence in 1991 and has been a separate state since then, so they do not understand the meaning of her new song.
Ukrainians admit that they are disappointed in Anna. Many people have followed the girl's work since the days of “Voice of the Country” on “X-Factor”, so they are upset that the singer supports Russia, which has been waging war against Ukraine for over 12 years, and sings about the “brotherhood” of the aggressor country with Belarus.
- “It's a shame that you were on “Voice of the Nation”. Shame,” wrote producer Volodymyr Zavadyuk.
- “In 1991, Belarus declared its independence. We are now a separate people, a separate state. What is the point of such songs? Brotherhood of peoples? So why not “Belarus and Ukraine”? Why not “Belarus and Latvia?”
- “Tin. And I have followed your path since the days of the Ukrainian “X-Factor” and respected your creativity. It is sad to see that now you support the side that is waging war against my country.”
- “Be careful, or suddenly a “SVO” will start in Belarus someday, where they will kill peaceful people, shoot down civilian cars, launch missiles into maternity hospitals, into houses where ordinary people, pregnant women, and children sleep. We'll see later what kind of love you'll sing about.”
