Ukrainian blogger Anastasiia Skalnitska, known by the handle skalnytska.n, published a large-scale video address to her followers on Instagram in which she spoke in detail for the first time about the reasons for her divorce from Bohdan Skalnitskyi and accused her ex-husband of systematic financial fraud. According to her, she had initially planned not to comment on the breakup, but the accumulated facts forced her to publicly lay out her version of events. “My ex-husband is a professional con artist,” Skalnitska began her address, stating that the man may have entered into a relationship with her solely for access to her money.
The Story of “Problems” and Moving Money
In her video address, the blogger went back to the beginning of the relationship and described the situation in which Bohdan told her about allegedly arising problems and asked her to move money to Poland. “He said: yes, I have, I feel, some problems there. I sold all the cars. I want you to go to Poland and put the money into your account so that we can rely on it,” Skalnitska quotes her ex-husband’s words. The next day, she was told about an allegedly conducted search of the house and Bohdan’s detention. A few hours later, he called and asked for a large sum of money. Skalnitska admitted that she sold her car to help her partner, expecting that he would eventually return everything. According to her, it was from this moment that the regular financial difficulties began, which lasted throughout the entire three-year marriage.
Loans, Sales, and “Nonexistent” Debts
The blogger claims that throughout the three years of marriage she constantly paid money toward “solving” her husband’s problems, which, as it later turned out, did not exist. “Just this debt that was there, and then all the debts that were over the three years, they did not exist. He simply took money from me. He lived on that money,” Skalnitska stated. She told that she sold cars, held sales of things, and took out loans to cover financial obligations. “There was not a single day when I did not have debt. These are not my debts, but this is my husband. I trusted him a thousand percent,” she added. According to her, the man repeatedly reported new urgent problems: “I was told, I have to return the money by tomorrow. Or they will take me away there, or I will have very big problems.”
Revelations After the Divorce: Cars on Lease
One of the most shocking revelations, according to Skalnitska, was the information about the cars. Approximately ten days after announcing the divorce, she learned that the cars she had been spending money on were in fact leased, not owned by the couple. “Then I find out that the car is not ours. Then I find out that we never had a car. He took all that money for himself,” the blogger claims. A similar situation, she says, happened with the work car for delivering her business: “Seven months ago he says: let’s take a lease, a work car, for delivery. I say: let’s do it. A few months ago I paid for it. Today I also found out that this is not my car, that it is also on lease.” Skalnitska emphasizes that for three years she did not know that she did not own any of the vehicles for which she was making payments.
Reasons for the Divorce and the State of the Business
The decision to divorce, according to Skalnitska, was not tied to any specific incident. “I made the decision to divorce not because something happened, but simply the last year was very heavy. We were not fighting, we just had difficult relationships. We lived different lives,” she explained. At the same time, she noted that she had initially expected a peaceful parting, but already ten days after the breakup facts began to surface that she had not previously known. “I did not think that such a thing simply exists in real life. It seems to me now that this is not my life, this is a series,” the blogger commented. She also stated that after the divorce the situation with her business became even more complicated: according to her, her ex-husband took out loans on her employees, and the business itself was left in debt.
Contradictory Data
It should be noted that as of the publication of the article, no public comment or refutation from Bohdan Skalnitskyi has been recorded in the provided sources. All financial allegations set out in the article — including claims about nonexistent debts, leased cars, and loans on employees — are one-sided statements by Anastasiia Skalnitska from her video address. The fact of the divorce after three years of marriage is confirmed by several publications, however, the details of the financial fraud remain a matter of dispute until the other side presents its version of events.
