Ukrainian theater, film, and dubbing actress Natalka Denysenko has made an alarming public statement about her worsening emotional state after returning to the capital city of Kyiv.
The announcement comes as Russia targets Kyiv with drone strikes for a third consecutive day, placing severe emotional and psychological pressure on residents across the capital.
Speaking in a series of video stories published on her official Instagram account, the performer admitted that maintaining her emotional balance is becoming significantly harder with each passing day.
Addressing her followers directly, Denysenko asked how others were managing to hold up in their current reality. She explained that she had previously considered herself highly resilient and believed she possessed a strong foundation because of her continuous personal work.
Denysenko added that while she consistently shares messages of positivity, creativity, love, relaxation, and pleasant energy on social media, the daily burden is proving increasingly difficult to manage. She asked her audience what steps they take to cope, adding that she was going outside for fresh air in an effort to set her mindset for the day.
Recent wedding and summer holiday
The emotional appeal follows a period of celebration and rest for the actress. On August 8, Denysenko married her husband Yuriy Yaroshenko, who was previously known by the surname Savranskyi, marking her second marriage in a three-day celebration.
Following the wedding festivities, the couple traveled to the city of Khust in the Zakarpattia region of western Ukraine alongside their sons from previous marriages to enjoy their summer break.
During their stay in Zakarpattia, Denysenko shared cheerful photographs on social media and reassured her audience that peaceful recreation within Ukraine remains possible. She described the trip as quiet, comfortable, delicious, and fun, writing that it was their best vacation with the children.
Public appearances in Ukraine
Before returning to the capital, the actress also attended the opening of the Odesa International Film Festival, one of the premier cultural events in Ukrainian cinema.
Denysenko is a prominent figure in Ukrainian entertainment, widely recognized for her television roles, stage performances, and extensive work voicing major film characters for national audiences.
