Russian former Strictly pro Kristina Rihanoff is slammed for 'insensitive' tweet which rages 'I don't give a s**t about the war'
The Russian dancer, 44, shared the since-deleted post while detailing how her business had been impacted by the pandemic. Kristina also hit out at a Ukrainian journalist who announced her mother's fleeing from the country. An additional rant was directed at Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, following the news of sanctions against Russia. 'Isn't it great that UK no longer angry at diabolical parties. How convenient,' another angry tweet read.
The opinionated content sparked fury among Twitter's users, who told the ballroom pro to 'read the room'. Kristina took to Twitter with a lengthy apology on Sunday, saying she is 'deeply sorry' for offending anyone. It comes as fellow Strictly star James Jordan slammed Russian dancers who have not spoken out about Ukraine's invasion by their native country's troops.
