“Myth – he earned money on us, and lived in Germany. And does Oleg helped Ukraine? In addition to his charity in life and help from the first days of a full -scale invasion, I paid taxes in Ukraine,” he said.
According to Vinnik, although he has been living in Germany for 25 years, in recent years he has been actively working in Ukraine.
“Where there were many concerts, where my dear public, television survey, films, advertising was. Of course, you need to pay taxes in the country in which you work,” the singer said.
He assured that he could confirm the words with documents.
Context
After a full -scale invasion of Russia to Ukraine, Vinnik stopped appearing in public and leading social networks. In the summer of 2023, in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Victoria Kurochka, the singer said that he left Ukraine on February 26, 2022 and lives in Berlin (Germany).
On July 17, 2025, Vinnik began publishing videos with excuses. At first he stated that he had only come to Ukraine to earn money, and his son was born in Germany. Then he admitted that he has no Ukrainian passport since 2000. “I have no real estate in Ukraine, no thick accounts, no car. There is even an internal passport since 2000, I live on foreign ones. Such miracles,” the artist added.
The artist also claims that in February 2022 he legally left Ukraine.
He writes his videos in hours, the cost of which is € 15 thousand.
In August 2024, the ex-producer of Vinnik, Alexander Gorbenko, admitted that Vinnik allegedly left Ukraine on February 27, 2022, hiding under a blanket in a car of his wife Nina Gorbenko. The producer specified that the car was the wife of Vinnik, singer Taisiya Svatko. Vinnik did not comment on this during the year, but now he decided to explain how, according to him, everything was actually.
