We are talking about the title of Hero of Ukraine, the Order of Merit and others, Zelensky reported on his social networks.
This concerns those who received state awards of Ukraine, including the Hero of Ukraine, the Order of Merit and others, but chose not Ukraine for themselves – they chose the enemy and now support Russia in one way or another or are even on its territory, the president said in his evening address.
Zelensky asked the Rada to consider this bill in the near future.
The heroes of Ukraine now are the MP of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party Yuriy Boyko and the former Ukrainian pro-Russian politician, deputy of four convocations of the Rada, Russian collaborator and accused of treason Boguslayev.
On January 30, it became known that Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal found no grounds for stripping the MP of the pro-Russian banned party OPZZh Yuriy Boyko of the title “Hero of Ukraine”.
A Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier, public and political figure Yuriy Gudymenko writes that it is impossible for both Boyko and the deceased battalion commander to be Heroes of the Country at the same time, leading his Marines out of encirclement. Gudymenko describes how the situation can be changed. Then comes the direct language:
The Hero of Ukraine continues to be the Russian citizen Vyacheslav Boguslayev, who is currently in jail for treason. The Hero of Ukraine is the member of the United Russia party, Aleksandr Batalin, a Crimean collaborator. We have the Hero of Ukraine Boris Bilash, a half-poet from the Party of Regions, whose main merit to the state was licking the rather large ass of Viktor Yanukovych. Our state has awarded the People’s Artists of Ukraine Philipp Kirkorov, Ani Lorak and Taisiya Povaliy, who sing at concerts in Moscow.
