Former Dynamo Kyiv coach Oleksiy Mykhailychenko expressed indignation at the presence of Mikhail Koshlyak, a representative of the Opposition Platform for Life party, among the members of the NOC of Ukraine.
Alexey Mikhailichenko“As an Olympic champion, as a person who has devoted his whole life to sports and continues to live in this business, I cannot remain silent. Yesterday, a representative of the pro-Russian Opposition Platform for Life Party, a deputy of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Council, Mikhail Koshlyak, was included in the NOC's supreme executive body - the Executive Committee.
This surreal does not fit in my mind personally. I would like public answers: who recommended HLE representatives for these positions? Who approved their candidacy? Who is this man? Maybe there are several? Do you really think that a person who had at least something in common with such traitors to Ukraine as Viktor Medvedchuk can represent the interests of Ukrainian sports? This goes beyond all the limits of what is permitted,” Mikhailichenko said.
