“Up to today, nothing has changed — we spoke just as before. Now a bit less often. When they announced with Zozulya that we had an agency, he called me and asked: ‘So why didn’t you say that you already ended your career? I would have invited you to work in my company.’ And I replied: ‘Vadim, I didn’t even know myself that I would end my career tomorrow.’

This happened by accident, I was sitting alone, thinking about all the moments that I would enjoy more — continuing to work or ending it. I decided only yesterday and realized that I want to work in this field with Roma,” said Konoplyanka.
