On Friday, March 3, adviser to the head of the President's Office Mikhail Podolyak met with Ukrainian bloggers on Bankova Street. As the influencers themselves note, they “discussed the issues of information warfare and the motivation of the population.”
Sasha Bo, Evgeny Taller, Ksyusha Maneken, Nastya Eliseeva, Tanya Parfilieva, Nikita Dobrynin and others were invited to the meeting at the OP. They themselves spoke about this in their passions on Instagram, Channel 24 reports.
For which the blogger received an award from GUR
Ksyusha Maneken (Oksana Voloshchuk – Channel 24), who was one of the invited guests, boasted on the network that she received the distinction “with the assistance of the military intelligence of Ukraine of the 2nd degree” from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
The blogger has repeatedly noted in her blog that it makes no difference what language you speak. She even stated that she did not plan to switch to Ukrainian. This time she emphasized it again.

It doesn’t matter what others say about you, it doesn’t matter if you are dressed in a photo or half-naked, it doesn’t even matter what language you speak. It's important to be an individual, learn from experience, evolve, be true to yourself and do what you love,” she wrote.
Voloshchuk also wrote that she “understands the pain of her subscribers.” “The comedian became president, the escort received an order, and you didn’t get so right,” Ksyusha Maneken wrote on Instagram. She subsequently removed it from the network.

Previous scandals involving Voloshchuk
Voloshchuk has repeatedly been in the spotlight after his scandalous statements. For example, a blogger in 2020 “thought” about life in the Crimea. In particular, she assured her subscribers that “it doesn't matter whose peninsula, the main thing is that it be peaceful there.”

The influencer also asked Podolyak about the timing of the end of the war, to which he replied: “I will explain directly. 2023. Everything will end.”
Also on Bankova was a millionaire blogger from Chernivtsi Alexander Zalisko. Recall that in 2021 he got into a scandal, celebrating his birthday on Holodomor Remembrance Day in the Lviv House of Scientists.
