A Ukrainian singer Vera Brezhneva spoke out about scammers on Instagram, warning followers that unknown individuals have created several impersonation accounts and used her name to solicit money from fans. The star urged everyone to stay vigilant and not fall for fraudulent schemes, stressing that she has not changed her phone and that her official photo appears on her verified profiles.
Brezhneva addressed her audience directly, asking anyone who can communicate on her behalf to understand that she has not authorized any new contact channels and that money should never be sent to accounts claiming to represent her. She emphasized the importance of confirming a profile’s authenticity before responding to messages or requests for funds, especially when a public figure is involved.
In the months following the start of hostilities in Ukraine, Brezhneva has tended to communicate with followers primarily in Ukrainian on her social platforms. Recently, she also reached out to Russian-speaking fans, making a point to maintain visibility across a broader audience while continuing to share updates and reassurance.
Reports from late June noted significant disruption around a figure associated with Brezhneva’s personal history. The discussion touched on the removal of a residence-related document and the implications for residency status in Russia. The coverage referenced the broader context of the singer’s past and the financial and legal matters tied to her life in the region.
Since the beginning of the special military operation, Brezhneva and her husband, Konstantin Meladze, left Russia. The couple publicly listed a residence property in the Moscow region for sale in early 2023, marking a notable shift in their personal and professional circumstances during a time of regional tension.
Former actress Anna Banshchikova later recalled filling in as a substitute for Angelica Varum at a concert, a detail that reflects the ongoing connections and collaborations within Brezhneva’s professional circle and the wider entertainment community in the region.
