Russian singer Katya Lel has criticized people who do not believe in extraterrestrials, calling them ignorant and asserting that alien visitors will arrive on Earth with peaceful intentions.
The Merited Artist of Russia made the statements during an interview reported by news portal KP.RU, in which she expressed outrage over public ignorance and skepticism regarding unidentified flying objects.
Lel questioned why the world remains full of ignorance when senior scientists appearing on television broadcasts have already written extensive books supporting the existence of other civilizations. She noted that many of these researchers have reached 90 years of age and achieved significant professional accomplishments throughout their lives.
According to the performer, many members of the public do not understand the truth and make hasty conclusions about her statements regarding UFOs. She emphasized that representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations are certain to travel to Earth, but stressed that they will not attack humans and will instead arrive with benevolent intentions.

She holds the official state title of Merited Artist of Russia, an honor awarded by the Russian government to acknowledge significant contributions to the performing arts.

Her latest comments were published by KP.RU, the online portal for Komsomolskaya Pravda, a long-running daily newspaper based in Moscow. The publication is one of Russia's largest media outlets, regularly reporting on domestic entertainment news, culture, and celebrity affairs.
