Currently, she lives with her mom, dad, and pet dog in the family’s underground bomb shelter. A video of hers titled “My Typical Day In A Bomb Shelter” has garnered 22 million views.

In her TikTok videos, she hangs out with her mom cooking, playing with her dog, drying her hair, all while facing adversity with a twist.

On one of the clips, the Ukrainian wrote, “Living my best life thanks to Russia! #ukraine #stopwar #russiastop”.
Moreover, the sensation flaunts the bomb shelter’s gym in a separate video set to Future and Gunna’s rap song ‘pushin P’. She makes a joke that it is actually a 5-star luxury hotel. A visible remnant of a shelled-out city with piles of rubble serves as her background in her videos.
