Vladimir Putin’s purported secret daughter expressed remorse for her father’s aggressive incursion into Ukraine. Luiza Rozova, 22, who is believed to be the Russian leader’s illegitimate offspring, was approached by a Ukrainian journalist in France. The reporter, whose brother recently fell victim to one of Putin’s missiles, commended Rozova for her courage in engaging with him but she quickly made her excuses and disappeared into the streets of Paris, where she currently resides. The grieving journalist, Dmytro Sviatnenko, urged her to implore her father to halt the violence.
Born out of an extramarital relationship between Putin and Svetlana Krivonogikh, a cleaner turned wealthy banker and strip club owner, Luiza, whose real name is Elizaveta Krivonogikh, found herself in a distressing impromptu interview with Sviatnenko. The journalist confronted her about her father’s actions, emphasizing the impact of the conflict on his family.
Initially guarded behind a mask, Luiza hesitated when questioned about her support for Putin’s policies. Despite trying to distance herself, she eventually expressed regret for the tragic situation unfolding in Ukraine, acknowledging her lack of control over her father’s actions.
Living in Paris and employed by two art galleries, Luiza was identified by a Ukrainian TV crew. Her mother’s wealth, accumulated through her association with Putin, contrasts with Luiza’s current situation. While Putin has neither confirmed nor denied paternity, Russian media outlets are prohibited from discussing her. Following her emergence in 2020 on social media platforms in Russia, she showcased a lavish lifestyle, including private jets and high-end fashion, before disappearing from public view around the time of the conflict.
Reports suggest that Putin may have intervened to suppress her online presence before the war commenced, raising questions about the extent of their relationship and communication.
