For a long time, the singer has not appeared in public, which has sparked numerous rumors.
The younger sister of the legendary singer Sofia Rotaru, Aurika, revealed where the star lives during the full-scale war in Ukraine.
More details on this are provided by RBC-Ukraine, referencing her comments to “TSN Glamour.”

Where is Sofia Rotaru now
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the 78-year-old Rotaru has almost not appeared in public and has not given interviews. This has periodically led to rumors that the star is living abroad.
However, her sister refuted this, noting that Sofia Mikhailovna lives in her house in the Kyiv region.
“She is in Kyiv, in Koncha-Zaspa, in her house. She is doing the same things as I am: gardening,” Aurika noted.
When asked by a journalist if Sofia Rotaru would return to the big stage, Aurika responded ambiguously.
“I don’t know. I think she won’t return during the war, but once the war is over, we will see,” the singer said.
What Rotaru said during the full-scale war
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Sofia Rotaru noted on social media that she remains in Kyiv and does not plan to leave the country. She openly spoke about the missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and admitted that she prays for Ukraine and its defenders.
In March 2022, her grandson Anatoly Evdokimenko found himself at the center of a scandal after being detained for attempting to illegally leave Ukraine.
At that time, Anatoly Evdokimenko, along with his father Ruslan, the singer’s son, tried to cross the Ukrainian-Moldovan border via the Dniester using an inflatable boat.
Later, Anatoly managed to leave Ukraine, and according to information from the internet, his family may have helped him.
Subsequently, the artist almost disappeared from the public space. She did not publish new messages on social media for a long time, which sparked a wave of rumors and speculation, particularly from Russian propaganda sources.
Currently, Rotaru leads a reclusive lifestyle: she hardly gives interviews and rarely appears in public. On social media, she occasionally reacts to massive shelling, congratulates Ukrainians on holidays, and shares personal posts—specifically archival photos with her husband and pictures from his burial site.
In the summer of 2025, the singer published new photos from Kyiv for the first time in years of war.
