Overview
- Video shows Rozova, 22, apologizing about the war during a street encounter in Paris and asking not to be filmed while covering her face with a mask.
- The journalist, Dmytro Sviatnenko, said his brother Volodymyr was killed three weeks earlier in a Russian strike and urged her to call Putin to halt the shelling.
- Rozova responded that she was not responsible and could not help, at one point asking, “What does that have to do with me?” before ending the exchange with a brief farewell.
- Reports say she lives in Paris, works at art galleries, and uses the surname Rudnova after moving to France as a student.
- She is widely reported to be Vladimir Putin’s unacknowledged daughter, a claim first highlighted by a 2020 Proekt investigation, and she has kept a low profile since deleting social media around 2021.
