About a year ago, media reports that the teenage pair, Vika and Vova, did su***de by jumping from the 24th floor of a building in their native land in Keiv. They became a major headline after their recorded jumping video soon swirled over the internet, inviting wide media attention.
Afterward, many media covered the news, claiming that the two individuals, Vika and Vova, were stepbrother and step-sister who fell in love with each other, but as their family didn’t accept their relationship, they took their lives by jumping from the building.
However, after examining the viral video, we feel the truth might differ slightly from what the media claimed. We analyzed the faces of the individuals, who jumped, aren’t visible in the video, so it is questionable whether they were actually Vika and Vova.
In #Kiev, a half-brother and sister committed a #steamy #suicide on live #TV because they were in #love with each other but couldn't date.

Secondly, the people who are Vika and Vova, as claimed by several online portals, are still active on TikTok under the username vika_vova966. Just 23 hours ago, a new video was uploaded with a Russian caption saying, “I want to break ##vikaivova24th floor #stepbrother #apt.”
Their activeness on TikTok debunks the authenticity of their su***de news. In fact, we find the entire circumstances surrounding Viva and Vova’s case questionable. But what’s your saying in the case?
While the case of Vika and Vova seems puzzling, netizens are searching for their jump video
Suddenly, people have shown a deep interest in Vika and Vova’s jump video, which is why the case has been trending lately.
Just three days ago, there was a reddit discussion regarding the Vika and Vova jump video where reddit users displayed their perplexity regarding the matter and questioned where the actual video is.
One reddit user talked about the case and wrote, “It happened 2-3 years ago I saw the video from a news article, to be honest, no idea about the language, but it seems Portuguese.” Referring to this comment, another user replied, “Okay, but do you know where the video is?!”

Likewise, another commented, “it where is the VIDEO? Not of them talking.”
Well, as our research suggests, the jump video everybody is talking about is still available on the TikTok account under the username vika_vova966, though it’s a little bit blurry, merged with flashing pictures of two individuals.
