Anna Trincher visited the city in Ternopil region and sparked a scandal.


There is a video circulating on the internet where Anna Trincher expressed an obscene opinion about the city of Berezhany in Ternopil region. Local residents expressed their outrage on social media.
Berezhany resembles a rural-type city because there is one street, one
These words were spoken by Anna Trincher in a YouTube project. However, civic activists and representatives of the youth police corps 'Berezhan Sheriffs' argue that the city has many streets and a rich history.
We always have places to walk, we have not one street, but at least 125. That is 175 kilometers in total. Markiyan Shashkevych, Bohdan Lepkyi lived in Berezhany. Currently, the artist Oleg Shuplak resides here. In our city, there is one street named after the Hero of Ukraine Vitaliy Skakun. He died after blowing up a bridge in Kherson region to stop the advance of the occupiers.
Moreover, the residents of Berezhany talked about the cultural and historical landmarks of the city, such as the town hall, the castle, and the museums of books and Bohdan Lepkyi.
The mayor of Berezhany, Rostyslav Bortnyk, accused Anna Trincher of making an unobjective statement and noted that such words could negatively affect the city's reputation.
This information is unreliable. And from such a public person. One must speak very carefully about such things, because they can create negative publicity for cities that are perhaps less popular than Kyiv and Lviv. We do not ask for special publicity, but we ask not to create very bad publicity regarding our status, because we are fighting for it. It's hard now, as cities are shrinking and people are leaving, but we are trying to remain a city and are working to develop our culture.
Surveillance footage from the train, published on social media, shows Anna feeling unwell and seeking help from the conductor and her friend. The singer explained that at that moment she was joking about her inadequate appearance and spoke inaccurately about the city of Berezhany. She apologized for the misunderstanding and shared plans to visit the city with a concert in the future.
Thus, due to Anna Trincher's unsuccessful joke, a conflict arose with the residents of Berezhany who emphasize its multifaceted history and cultural significance.
