Veteran Venya Leaves KVK: What is Known About His Departure and the Team's Plans.

According to ТСН: The famous Ukrainian humorist Oleksandr Venedchuk, better known as Venya from the team "Veterans of the Cosmic Forces," announced his departure from this popular collective.

In his Instagram, Venya noted that he leaves the project without any conflicts, emphasizing that this is his personal choice. He also expressed gratitude for the past experience and wished success to his colleagues. The artist added that he plans to continue his creativity in a new format.

"I am no longer 'Veteran of the Cosmic Forces.' No conflicts, no misunderstandings. This is simply my decision. I hope you understand and support me; believe me, it will be better this way. Thank you for eight years of attention and five years on YouTube. Support the guys, follow me. This has been a fantastic period of my life, and there is more to come," wrote Venya.

KVK participant Artem Damnitsky also commented on the situation, noting that he learned of Venya's decision to leave the collective in mid-November. Artem confirmed that the final decision was made on December 17, and it could not be changed. The humorist admitted that he does not fully understand his colleague's motivation but respects his choice.

"You probably saw Mr. Venya's post about his departure from the collective. He caught us just at a concert in Kharkiv. I did not hear any compelling arguments regarding this decision, and therefore, I will never understand it, but I accept this position and decision because he had every right to it, just as I have the right to my rejection. But I believe this is very irresponsible toward our audience, who constantly tells us at concerts and in comments how we have saved their minds all these years. Alright, that’s all lyrical. Now, everyone goes about their business. Regarding Mr. Venya's plans — better ask him; he hasn't shared them with us," wrote Damnitsky.

Artem also emphasized that the "Veterans of the Cosmic Forces" project will continue its activities, and all planned formats on YouTube will continue to be released.

It is worth noting that in 2025, Venya experienced serious health problems. At the beginning of the year, he was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery. Later, he required another surgical intervention to replace part of his skull with a titanium alloy and underwent a long rehabilitation. However, in his Telegram channel, Venya assured that his health condition is not related to his departure from "KVK." He also urged not to criticize the team, explaining that they are not to blame for his decision.

Venya's exit from the "Veterans of the Cosmic Forces" marks a new stage in his career. Although the team will continue its activities, fans are eagerly awaiting new projects from the humorist. His decision has sparked mixed reactions among colleagues and fans, but everyone hopes that it will lead to new creative achievements.
