It is reported that Yelyzaveta Ivantsiv informed the relevant authorities about obtaining Russian citizenship in 2024, when she still bore her husband's surname — Astakhova.
43-year-old Yelyzaveta Ivantsiv was born in Uzhhorod, Zakarpattia Oblast.
In late January, it became known that the artist married musician Rozhden Anusi from Odesa. To enter into marriage, a person must have a valid passport.
As reported by the Telegram channel Mash, the singer's Ukrainian passport had expired, and she could not obtain a new document due to the war in Ukraine.
