Actor and businessman Ville Haapasalo spoke about the situation in Ukraine after the start of the Russian special operation. The artist chose his words very carefully, as he has many influential friends both in Russia and Ukraine, writes Yle.
“The question is so political that I don’t agree to an interview,” the actor said, noting that there have been a lot of calls from journalists lately.
“With my interviews, I can’t influence the situation in any way. Hopefully, maybe in some other way I can. The situation is very difficult,” Haapasalo added. “People are leaving at home and don’t know where to run. The situation in Ukraine is catastrophic,” he said.
“Of course, like anyone else today, I follow with sadness and confusion what is happening in Ukraine. People who are completely uninvolved in great-power politics are forced to suffer. It’s sad and sad. When attacked, the people always suffer. And so it is now. My support is completely on the side of the people of Ukraine,” the artist added and urged “to believe in the best and that justice will prevail.”
He added that his Russian friends are also shocked by what is happening. “And they don’t know where to run,” the actor stressed.
Haapasalo lived and worked in Ukraine and Russia for a long time.
Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.”
