Russian and Lithuanian actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite, unlike many of her colleagues, did not make personal comments about Russia’s special operations in Ukraine for a long time and did not talk about her whereabouts. But today it turned out that the actress left Russia in the first days of the special operation and now lives in Brussels with her five-year-old son Alex, mother and sister. Dapkunaite talked about this in an interview with the Lithuanian edition of LRT.

The actress said that the main reason for her departure was the special operation and condemned the actions of Russia. Dapkunaite also admitted that he thinks it was a mistake now that he had not left Russia earlier after the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
