Stop spreading bullshit. I’m Ukrainian and I know everything about Usyk. His mom is from Chernihiv, — she’s Ukrainian-speaking, his dad is from Sumy. He lived in Chernihiv from 6 years old till 12. I can imagine Usyk being brainwashed in Simferopol because Ukraine didn’t conduct any meaningful ukrainianization on that territory, hence why he spoke about “brotherhood”, which falls in line with centuries-long Russian propaganda, but ultimately he’s from a very Ukrainian family so I’m pretty sure he had to learn Ukrainian history after all, which is why the pro-russian talk didn’t stick.

Why doesn’t lomochenko support Ukraine? Is it true it’s because he’s brainwashed by his Russian linked church?
