Volunteer and public figure Dasha Astafieva, who, together with teacher Artur Proydakov, read this year’s Radio Dictation of National Unity, received mostly positive feedback. However, actress Natalia Sumska, who fulfilled these duties in 2025, expressed her dissatisfaction with the choice of Astafieva as reader and with her behavior during the broadcast.
On the air of the Kyiv 24 TV channel, Sumska criticized Astafieva’s appointment, as well as her joke using the phrase “stood up and left,” and even compared her successor to the disgraced former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. In particular, the actress said that Dasha’s figure did not unite society—the very goal the organizers of the Radio Dictation set for themselves—but rather divided it.
“So not unity, but a division of society, so to speak. It happened,” the actress said.
