"I made a decision not to participate in the competition. Unfortunately, I did not know who would be among the participants, the information that appeared on the Internet is shocking and unacceptable to me. My moral principles and dignity are more important. I don't want to have anything to do with people who are in any way connected with Russia or who keep silent about the genocide of the Ukrainian people, — said Makarova.

Polina Surai did the same.

«But these plots with Russian oligarchs have nothing to do with my dream. One of the main requirements stipulated in the contract with the competition is to in no way support or be associated with Russia. But, apparently, this rule is an exception for some contestants», — Polina wrote in social networks.
