Liliia Sandulesa's Retort to Bilozir on Casino Visits: A Private Matter
Liliia Sandulesa Responds to Oksana Bilozir's Remarks
According to Главком: In an interview with Rostyslav Kalatsynskyi, reported by 'Glavcom', Liliia Sandulesa has addressed comments made by fellow singer Oksana Bilozir regarding her visits to casinos. Sandulesa stated these were infrequent occurrences and a part of her private life, emphasizing that she does not go daily and has many other professional commitments, including concerts.
This exchange highlights the intense public scrutiny Ukrainian cultural figures often face. Previously, in an interview with Dmytro Gordon, Oksana Bilozir had expressed regret that Sandulesa had not fully realized her artistic potential, suggesting a lack of a good producer and an interest in gambling were factors. Bilozir remarked:
'Oh, Liliia Kitsichka. My God, what a Kitsichka she was. [...] I simply feel sorry that somehow she couldn't realize herself. There was no good producer. Well, who knows. She does like to play at the casino a little. This is about her not, unfortunately, fully devoting herself to art.' Oksana Bilozir
In response to these statements, Sandulesa declared:
'That is my business. [...] I didn't go there every day. We had concerts, we had things to do.' Liliia Sandulesa
She added, addressing Bilozir directly: 'Mind your own business, your own concerts. That's all. Don't touch me.' Sandulesa, a People's Artist of Ukraine and former wife of Ivo Bobul, posted her statement on the social network X on February 10, 2026.
Complex Dynamics in Ukrainian Culture
This episode underscores the intricate relationships among artists within Ukrainian culture, where personal lives can become topics of public debate. Sandulesa's rebuttal to Bilozir's criticism reflects her desire to defend her privacy and autonomy in lifestyle choices. Both artists hold significant influence in Ukrainian music, a situation that may fuel further discussion about the role of producers and personal habits in an artist's career trajectory.
