An alleged daughter once hidden from public view has broken her silence by directly denouncing her ‘father’, Vladimir Putin, for the destruction he wrought across millions of lives in Ukraine
A woman widely believed to be Vladimir Putin’s long-rumoured daughter has emerged as she condemned the Russian leader for the devastation of war and extended her support to Ukraine amid the conflict.
Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to be Putin’s youngest daughter, shared the messages on her private Telegram, in line with her increasing openness on Instagram as she’s started to share more images of herself.
Though her identity remains officially unconfirmed, she insisted that her father’s decisions have cost «millions» of lives and obliterated any semblance of normalcy she might have known. It comes after Putin warns of nuclear war after unleashing another night of hell on Ukraine.

“It’s liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,” she wrote, Bild reported.
“It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life,” she added. The Telegram chat, dubbed “Art of Luiza,” references her work pseudonym, Luiza Rozova.
Krivonogikh has never shot down the theories surrounding her being Putin’s daughter.
The budding artist was born in 2003 after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the president’s then-housekeeper.
The bombshell was first revealed after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing her “phenomenal resemblance” to Putin. He isn’t listed on her birth certificate, but “Vladimirovna” was included, translating to “daughter of Vladimir.”
It comes as President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is set to visit the White House on Monday and confront a difficult choice from President Trump: give up land to Russia in exchange for US. promises for Ukraine’s future security, or hold his ground and risk reigniting Trump’s anger.
Just hours before the meeting, Russian attacks in the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia killed at least 10 people, including a child, and injured dozens of others, the Ukrainian authorities said.
Mr Zelensky condemned the strikes as a deliberate attempt to put pressure on Ukraine amid the talks.
Residents of Kyiv are said to be sceptical that his meeting with President Trump will bring progress toward an end to the Russian invasion.
Many Ukrainians were still reeling from watching Trump greet Putin with a red carpet and warm handshake in Alaska on Friday, when the two leaders held talks that ended with Trump tilting toward Russia’s position on ending the war.
Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, with the war still raging on three years later. According to the British Ministry of Defence, more than one million Russian troops have been killed or injured since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022.
The estimate aligns with a recent study by the US-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which puts Russian military deaths at up to 250,000 and total casualties, including the wounded, at over 950,000.
Ukraine has suffered very high losses as well, with between 60,000 and 100,000 personnel killed and total casualties reaching approximately 400,000.
