Relatives live in Kyiv: it became known who tore down the Ukrainian flag in Turkey

The Ukrainian flag in Ankara 4 in May was torn down by Stavytskyi Valerii Anatoliiovych, who works in the apparatus of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

This is reported by the Telegram channel "OSINT Pcheli."

It is reported that he has relatives in Ukraine. Thus, his sister lives in Kyiv, and his brother lives in Lubny, Poltava region.

Russian propagandist Olga Skabeeva wrote on Telegram that Stavytskyi had to call an ambulance. According to her, he received several blows to the head from a Ukrainian member of parliament, and his blood pressure rose.

"Hospitalization may be required," she wrote.

Reaction of Ukraine

The head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada, David Arakhamia, thanked MP Oleksandr Marikovskyi on his Telegram for defending the honor of the Ukrainian flag.

"Thanks to our colleague Oleksandr Marikovskyi, who defended the honor of the Ukrainian flag and for his dignified stance during the PABSEC summit," he wrote.

Arakhamia also noted that next time Ukraine will send MP and multiple-time world champion in strongman competitions Vasyl Virastyuk.

Recall that 4 in May at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC) in Ankara a scuffle broke out between representatives of the two countries over a provocation by State Duma deputy Olga Timofeyeva, who pinned a "St. George ribbon" to her jacket.

Verkhovna Rada deputies tried to interrupt the speech of State Duma deputy Olga Timofeyeva, who had pinned a "St. George ribbon" to her jacket — one of the symbols of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Later in the corridors, MP Oleksandr Marikovskyi struck a member of the Russian delegation for tearing down the Ukrainian flag. The event security quickly intervened in the fight and separated the participants.
