In our interview, Ukrainian skeleton leader Vladislav Geraskevich spoke about his proposal regarding changing citizenship. He also expressed his opinion on the change of citizenship for gymnast Illya Kovtun and his coach Irina Gorbatcheva, stating that they received significant financial support from the state budget. Geraskevich believes this is unacceptable, as in wartime conditions they are renouncing their homeland without fulfilling the state's requirements. He called this situation a disgraceful act, pointing out that many people support his opinion.
