(Combination of multiple interviews) – Vadim Zoubovski emerged as a spokesperson for peace when war broke out. Media outlets noted that Vadim, 51 – who moved to Singapore in 2004 and still has family in Ukraine – saw his restaurant hit by anti-Russian sentiment. In a local interview, he shared how hurtful comments on Kapitan/Dumplings.ru’s pages accused him over the war. Rather than react in anger, he made a public appeal for kindness xinjiapo.news and declared a donation of part of the business’s revenue to support Ukrainians xinjiapo.news . Singapore’s press covered his story widely: in TODAY, Vadim recounted one troll telling him to “get Putin to stop the war,” but after he posted the heartfelt Facebook message on Mar 1, many Singaporeans rallied behind his restaurant todayonline.com todayonline.com – business actually improved with patrons lining up to show support. CNA Lifestyle also highlighted Vadim’s quote that they “don’t feel comfortable promoting Russian food” amid the conflict, hence the brand’s pivot to a broader Eastern European theme cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com .
