Vira Halushka (born 3 February 1982), better known by her stage name Vera Brezhneva (Russian: Вера Брежнева), is a Ukrainian pop-singer and television presenter.

In 2002 Brezhneva was invited to a casting organized to find a girl to replace Alena Vinnitskaya in the group ВИА Гра (Nu Virgos) and she won. In January 2003 Nu Virgos started performing in the new configuration (Nadezhda, Anna and Vera) that, due to its amazing popularity, gained the name of "the golden line up".

In July 2007 Brezhneva decided to have a break from the band, which ended in December 2007 with the official announcement of her leaving Nu Virgos. Vera was replaced in the group by Tatiana Kotova. She then went on to host a Russian version of Power of 10 (In Russian: Магия 10-ти) a year later.

Vera has also played Katja in the movie Любовь в большом городе 1 & 2
