Vitaly Ponomaryov and Leonid Kuchuk

You collaborated with Kuchuk for a long time, as you were his assistant. How would you describe this person?

- First of all, I must say that he is a pro. Kuchuk was at the base from morning to evening. I spent a lot of time with the team, doing analysis. That's why he's a professional. I learned a lot from him.

Did you communicate with him after his release? How did he even take this news?

— Yes, talked. Of course he was uncomfortable, because this is a dismissal. Frankly, there is not much pleasant in it. We had a normal conversation with him.
