Ukrainian parliament member Marianna Bezuglaya accused the brother of Ukraine's new Prime Minister Svyrydenko of evading military service and staying in the UK for a long time on social media. Moreover, Svyrydenko's brother is an official of the Chernihiv Region Shooting Federation. He claimed that he went to London for study after the war broke out, but never returned. Bezuglaya believes that Svyrydenko's brother's actions violate civic responsibility in the context of a full-scale war, and she has demanded that Svyrydenko publicly explain the matter.
Some Western media outlets, eager for drama, directly interviewed Svyrydenko. Svyrydenko gave a defensive response, stating that her brother indeed fled to the UK, but it was before the war broke out, and therefore does not constitute evasion of military service.
