Russian representatives of the TV channel tried to involve Sofia Rotaru's younger sister, Aurika, in the program, but she categorically refused, explaining that neither she nor her brother wanted to participate in such projects.
«About a year before the full-scale war began, I received a call from Russian NTV offering to shoot a program... They were looking for some reason. I refused, I don’t need it,» the singer explained.
At the end of 2021, NTV aired a piece featuring Rotaru's brother, where he spoke about his relationship with his famous sister. Other family members refused to comment on this story.
«No, no one called me. I have completely stopped communicating with anyone from Russia... What they need, they write,» Aurika Rotaru added.
In her interview, the singer also refused to comment on her sister's property in Moscow and Crimea, and declined cooperation with Ukrainian journalists.
Singer Aurika Rotaru refused to participate in programs dedicated to her relatives' anniversaries and revealed that she will completely avoid collaboration with Russian media.
