As noted by “Facts”, Ukrainian publicist Hanna Salata said that since 2014 year, the musician refused to perform in front of Ukrainians. A concert organizer who worked with Shatunov told her about this on condition of anonymity.
“Starting from 2014, every time he was called with a request for a private performance in Europe, after learning that the customers were from Ukraine, he invariably cursed. And he said that he is not going to sing in front of people who do not respect great Russia. Here's Yura,” the organizer said.
It is interesting that in public, unlike other Russian pop stars, Shatunov did not comment on Russia's war against Ukraine.
