Philip Kirkorov, a Russian singer of Bulgarian origin, arrived in the Donetsk region, temporarily occupied by Russia. There he spoke to wounded Russian soldiers at a hospital in Gorlovka.

The singer, as Russian state propaganda agencies reported, “delivered humanitarian aid” to the military and sang several songs. He declared:
I have my own country, I’m not going to leave anywhere. I live here, have lived and will live.
But not everyone liked it. “DPR Cossacks” expressed their “non-feeding” and said that Kirkorov takes part in dubious parties. Therefore, his concerts need to be cancelled.
In December, Kirkorov, among others, attended the so-called “almost naked” party organized by Nastya Ivleeva. After the outrage in z-publics, party participants began to publicly apologize. Kirkorov stated that he “went through the wrong door” and “did not know about the nature of the events.” The singer’s performances began to be urgently cut from New Year’s broadcasts; his name appeared on the list of musicians whose concert activities were informally banned in Russia.
Earlier in January, Kirkorov donated five million rubles to the Belgorod charitable foundation Blue Bird, which helps children with autism spectrum disorders and mental disorders.
Dima Bilan went to Kirkorov in the so-called “DPR”. In January, he brought gifts to children at the Republican Trauma Center, and donated air conditioners to the children’s center in Gorlovka. He also donated three million rubles to a shelter for homeless animals and even adopted a cat from there. Like Kirkorov, Bilan promised prosthetics to the wounded.
