Ukrainian TV presenter Nikita Dobrynin has found himself at the center of a new wave of criticism over the issue of his service in the Armed Forces. Despite the fact that back in 2024 he explained why he would not volunteer, against the backdrop of active mobilization of men, this issue has become relevant again.
On his Instagram, Dobrynin responded to the accusations, emphasizing that most often the negativity comes from those who themselves do not help the Ukrainian army in any way.
" The most criticized are those who do nothing at all. They sit at home on the couch with a TV series in the background, and it hurts them terribly that someone is standing in the wrong place, busy with the wrong thing, in the wrong mood. And at the same time, they have never once given a compliment, helped, or written words of support - only a "value judgment" on someone else's life ," the host said.
Dobrynin noted that he regularly participates in charity events and helps cover expenses for the army. He previously said that he would not run away from service if he received a summons.
It is not officially known whether the TV presenter has a reservation from mobilization. He does not comment on this issue, but it is worth recalling that the TET TV channel, where Dobrynin works, has had the status of a critically important enterprise since 2024, which may give its employees a deferral from conscription.
