Ruslan Khanumak: Scandalous trip to the USA during the war

The famous Ukrainian actor and showman Ruslan Khanumak recently became the object of numerous discussions and criticism from his followers. The reason was his decision to go to the United States during the full-scale war in Ukraine to see his son.

How Ruslan Khanumak left Ukraine

After a flurry of hate on his official Instagram page, Ruslan decided to explain the situation in detail.

I was officially "released" because I do not break the law. When the law on mobilization came into force, I immediately passed the VLK and MSEK. I didn't cover these things like famous bloggers, only because I didn't think it was necessary to make a concert program out of it. I never thought that a terrible disease in the form of asthma from the age of two would one day, no matter how it sounds, "play into my hand" and allow me to see my child. All my relatives, friends, acquaintances, colleagues know about the constant salbutamol in my pocket and periodic asthma attacks, " explained Ruslan Khanumak.

Meeting with my son in the USA

Ruslan Khanumak, author of the Kvartal 95 studio, finally met his son from his ex-wife, blogger Alina Shamanska. Touching footage of their meeting appeared on Instagram.

"No climate and palm trees, education and living conditions, and even mother's upbringing and love will not replace childhood with my father... I may be a traitor in the eyes of many, but my son will grow up with my father. We are together again, " Ruslan wrote.

Analysis and forecasts for the future

This event caused quite a stir in society. Critics continue to debate the ethicality of Hanumak's decision, but the actor himself is confident in the correctness of his actions. His example can become an important precedent for others in similar situations.
